Allergen Friendly

Sausage Balls with Bisquick are made using Venison Sausage, homemade Bisquick, and Oat Milk. The homemade Bisquick recipe can be made using Organic, All Purpose Flour, or Gluten-Free Flour depending on your allergy needs. In addition, Oat Milk is used to bind the Sausage Balls with Bisquick together due to Venison Sausage being leaner than Pork Sausage. In conclusion, this recipe is delicious, can be easily adaptable to fit your allergy-friendly needs, and are an excellent appetizer for any gathering.

Creating and Cooking the Sausage Balls

For the Oven

  1. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Next, in a large bowl, combine the Venison Sausage, Bisquick, chives, cheese, and Oat Milk.
  3. Then, form the sausage mixture into 24-golf-ball-sized balls.
  4. Next, place them on a nonstick baking sheet or inside a miniature muffin tin (the muffin tin will help them keep their shape).
  5. Then, bake the sausage balls in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the sausage is cooked entirely.
  6. Finally, remove them from the oven and serve them hot!
Sausage Balls Ready to Cook
I prefer rolling the Sausage Ball mixture first, and then “frying” or baking them. I find this to be an easier process.

For the Air Fryer

  1. First, in a large bowl, combine the Venison Sausage, Bisquick, chives, cheese, and Oat Milk.
  2. Next, form the sausage mixture into 24-golf-ball-sized balls.
  3. Then, place 8-12 sausage balls into the air fryer basket.
  4. Next, close the air fryer basket, set the fryer to 400 degrees, and “fry” for 10 minutes.
  5. Then, flip the sausage balls over and “fry” for another 10 minutes.
  6. Finally, remove them from the oven or air fryer and serve them hot!
