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!
