These Bisquick sausage balls are made with Neese's sausage and are perfect for breakfast, especially during the holidays. I have provided the doubled recipe, but you can cut it in half if you wish. I like to bake half the batch and freeze the remaining in a resealable plastic bag for another day. This recipes works great in a toaster oven, too.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

“I always make it on holiday mornings while waiting on food for dinner,” says one Allrecipes community member. “They are amazing and perfect just just grab one here and there while waiting on the big meal!”

“These are my go-to for having quick, easy, filling snacks on hand,” according to Aspen Sagan. “The KitchenAid stand mixer helps tremendously for making them.”

“Great and easy recipe,” raves SarahBeth. I threw the ingredients in my mixer and then used a heaping tablespoon to keep the balls consistent. Then halfway through the cook time, I flipped the balls so they didn’t get crispy on the bottom.”
