Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork sausage (check labels to be sure it's gluten free)
  • 1 ¾ cup 9.3 ounces gluten-free Bisquick
  • ½ cup milk (we used whole milk)
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (finely grated)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Add all ingredients into a large bowl and mix with your hands just until it is all combined. Using food-grade gloves can make this process easier and less messy. The texture should be similar to meatballs and you can add a bit extra milk if needed to help everything come together.
  • Form into 24 balls about 1 inch in diameter and place 1-2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.

Notes

Our homemade gluten free Bisquick recipe yielded the best texture and is super easy to make with only 3 ingredients.

Make Ahead

    1. Make the gluten-free sausage balls through step 2, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet that will fit on a shelf in your freezer.
    1. Freeze until solid.
    1. Transfer to freezer-safe Ziplock bag and be sure to press all the air off and seal tightly.
You can freeze them for up to 3 months, then bake from frozen following the instructions in the recipe card. I let mine thaw on a baking sheet while the oven is preheating and then just bake for the normal amount of time

Storage

Store leftover sausage balls in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for longer.

Make it Dairy Free

Use dairy-free cheese and dairy-free milk. We suggest using a milk with a higher fat content such as Oatly full-fat oat milk or a homemade cashew milk.

Also be aware that the milk you use could affect the taste of the sausage balls, so we don't recommend using something like coconut milk which has a stronger, flavor, or a sweetened dairy-free milk.
