OK, a few days late, but better than never! Spent Christmas week visiting a relative in Phoenix, got back on the 30th and have been trying to get back to something resembling “normal”. Unfortunately, the year started off with a big old cooking FAIL. Yesterday we had our Christmas here at home, and I wanted to make sausage cheese balls. Just been on my mind for a while and Christmas seemed a good as excuse as any!
Now, I haven’t made these in about 10 years. I pulled the recipe from the Betty Crocker/Bisquick website. I thought the proportions seemed quite a bit off – 3 cups of bisquick, 4 cups of cheese? To just one pound of sausage? But then I thought, hey, it’s Bisquick’s own recipe! They of all people should have it right.
I should have trusted my instincts and found another recipe. They were awful. Ended up as sort of a cheesy dough with bits of sausage and just terrible.
Next time I’ll be using this recipe from Consumer Web Help – the proportions seem much more reasonable and the sausage isn’t so far outnumbered by the cheese & Bisquick.
Ah well, lesson learned. Onward and upward!
