Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
Mix together sausages and cream cheese in a mixing bowl, using a paddle attachment.
8 ounce pork sausage, 8 ounce pork sausage, 1 8 oz block cream cheese
Add in Bisquick baking mix and stir until combined.
2 Cups Bisquick baking mix
Add in the cheese. Hand mixing might be needed. Stir until combined.
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
Scoop up sausage ball mixture using a 1-inch scoop and place on baking sheet, with space between the balls.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is crisp.
Remove from the baking sheet immediately if you did not use parchment or a silicone mat.

Grate your own cheese. You will get a better sausage ball in the end.
Do not pack or scoop up the bisquick when measuring it. Scoop it into the cup loosely and use the back side of a butter knife to level.
Use a sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese. The cheese stands up nicely to the bisquick.
Use a cookie scoop to keep a consistent sized ball. Smaller is better and consistency is key to a delicious sausage ball.
Use room temperature sausage. The room temperature meat will give off the fat easier and incorporate into the bisquick better.
Don’t over bake. Once they are golden brown, put them from the oven.
If baking directly on a cookie sheet, immediately remove from the pan upon removing from the oven.
