I havent cooked these in years. Thought I would give it a go today. The dough was very thick. I dont remember it being so thick before. But I went with it (I already had my hands in it). I had my husband add some more milk to the batter until I thought it felt right. They are in the oven now. So I hope they taste good??? We used 1% milk and regular mild sausage. When I make these again.. I will try to spice it up.

I do not think this is a good recipe...I have made them before and they were not this dry. I think there is too much Bisquick. My son said they were good however and he has tasted them all of the other times I have made them. I usually add chopped celery and green onions. The pork sausage nowdays is not as fatty and I think sausage cheese balls have to be somewhat greasy or they are not good. Everytime I have made them they have been eaten all up!! No matter what variations I try! I like to use a softer cheese like Colby or a mix of white and yellow cheddar cheese. I add a little baking powder sometimes. I also mix them with two BBQ forks so they are not packed down and dense. I agree the recipe by the sausage companies like Jimmy Dean or Owens are better than this recipe. Milk could only help them and I think it does as they can be dry.
