Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cheese from sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the raw sausage, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar. Use your hands or a stand mixer to blend until the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
  3. Fold in the Bisquick, garlic powder, and paprika, mixing until a cohesive, slightly tacky dough forms.
  4. Stir in the chopped green onions gently so they are distributed without bruising.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1 inch balls.
  6. Place the balls on the baking sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch of space between each ball to allow hot air to circulate.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until they have a consistent golden brown hue and a firm touch.
  8. Allow them to cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
