These soft and tender Bisquick balls can easily be prepared ahead of time and warmed up when you need them. Store them in the fridge for a few days or throw them in the freezer. If you are expecting a big crowd or if you just want to have some leftovers you can make a double batch.

If you aren’t familiar with Bisquick it is a premixed baking mix that contains flour, shortening, salt sugar, and baking powder. It can be used in sweet or savory recipes. If you don’t have any Bisquick on hand you can substitute a pancake mix though your sausage rolls may be slightly on the sweet side. Alternatively, you can make your own dough using your favorite basic dough recipe.

FAQs

Why are my sausage balls dry?

If your sausage balls turned out dry it could be because you have too much Bisquick mix vs. sausage. If you’ve got a whole batch of sausage balls you find dry you can always dip them in your favorite dipping sauce.

Do Bisquick sausage balls need to be refrigerated?

If you aren’t going to be eating the sausage balls right away it is best to store them in the fridge.
