Classic Southern sausage balls make a cozy, down home appetizer to bring to a potluck party or church gathering. Serve them with a sweet and tangy honey mustard dip for dunking.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil and spray them with cooking spray. Set them aside.
Add the Bisquick baking mix, bulk sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese to a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly combine all the ingredients until it forms one large ball.
Use a spoon to scoop portions of the sausage mixture and roll it into a 1-inch ball. If the balls won't roll smoothly and are cracking, add just 1 tablespoon of milk to the mixing bowl and knead it into the sausage mixture. You may use up to 2 tablespoons of milk if the mixture is really dry but be careful to not moisten it too much or the balls won't hold their shape.
Line the rolled balls on the prepared baking sheets.
