Equipment

1 large mixing bowl
2 18x26" cookie sheet pans
measuring cups
measuring spoons

Ingredients

1 lb. mild pork sausage uncooked
16 oz. sharp cheddar cheese shredded
3 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated (I used an Italian six-cheese blend: Mozzarella, Provolone, Asiago, Romano, Fontina & Parmesan cheeses)
1 tsp. rosemary (see note below)
1 1/2 tsp. parsley (see note below)

Instructions

Mix sausage, cheeses, rosemary, parsley and Bisquick with your hands until ingredients are blended.
Add milk or water slowly and continue mixing with your hands as needed to make mixture that can be rolled into balls.
Roll sausage mixture into golf-ball sized balls.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes.
Serve hot!

Notes

NOTE: I found it easier to keep my hands moist while rolling.

NOTE: I recommend doubling the rosemary and parsley and adding 1 or 2 tsp. rubbed (not ground) sage for increased flavor.

Recipe adapted from Betty Crocker's Bisquick Baking Mix.
