Notes

These Air Fryer Bisquick Sausage Balls are the perfect bite-sized appetizer, snack, or breakfast treat! Made with Bisquick, sausage, and cheese, they’re crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. Best of all, they cook quickly in the air fryer—no oven needed!

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground sausage, Bisquick, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  2. Mix everything together using your hands or a spoon until well incorporated. (If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to help bind it together.)

Step 2: Form the Sausage Balls

  1. Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about the size of a walnut).
  2. Place them on a plate or tray.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  2. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  3. Arrange the sausage balls in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.
  4. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Let the sausage balls cool slightly before serving.
  2. Serve with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or spicy sriracha mayo for dipping!

Pro Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Sausage Balls:

✅ Use freshly shredded cheese—it melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
✅ For extra flavor, try a mix of cheddar and pepper jack cheese.
✅ Make ahead: Form sausage balls and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days before air frying.
✅ Freeze leftovers: Store in a ziplock bag and reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
