👩‍🍳 How to Make Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl (or stand mixer), combine sausage and softened cream cheese until smooth.

3. Add Bisquick and mix until just combined.

4. Stir in cheese — and don’t be shy with that extra handful!

5. Scoop the mixture into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop. Roll them gently to shape.
