Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 20 balls
Ingredients
- 1 lb sausage
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Remove sausage from refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage, Bisquick mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spatula until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a consistent mixture.
- Using clean hands, roll the mixture into uniform balls approximately 1-
- 5 inches in diameter. Ensure each ball is compact and holds together well.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the sausage balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each ball for proper air circulation. Depending on basket size, you may need to cook in batches.
- Cook the sausage balls for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the balls halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check internal temperature of the sausage balls, which should reach 160°F (71°C) for food safety. The exterior should be golden brown and crispy.
- Remove sausage balls from air fryer and let rest on a paper towel-lined plate for 2-3 minutes to absorb excess grease.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or breakfast item. Optional: Pair with dipping sauces like ranch or honey mustard.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Let your sausage sit at room temperature before mixing to ensure even blending and consistent texture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Use your hands to mix ingredients for the most uniform distribution of cheese and sausage.
- Size Consistency: Roll balls of similar size (1-
- 5 inches) to ensure even cooking.
- Don't Overcrowd: Leave space between sausage balls in the air fryer basket for optimal air circulation and crispiness.
- Shake and Rotate: Halfway through cooking, shake or turn the balls to achieve golden-brown perfection on all sides.
- Food Safety First: Always check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F to ensure the sausage is fully cooked.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with ranch, honey mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra flavor boost!
