To my mind, if you brown the sausage before shaping into balls, the balls
won't be able to hold their shape, as the meat loses its adhering properties
in the browning process.
As for the grease from the meat, if there is a lot during baking, put the
baked sausage balls on paper towels to drain; then dump the excess grease
from the baking pan.

I am taking a stab in the dark re this question! Can you choos any other
biscuit baking mix other than Bisquick? For some reason, I never had luck
using that product. I
might fix it for Christmas, now, given the option to first brown up the
sausage. I just did not care for the idea of using it unbrowned, and
browning does remove some of that grease!

I have made these lots of times, and I always brown the sausage and drain.
It makes the sausage balls less greasy. It will make quite a few,
depending
on size. I brown the sausage, combine it with the cheese, then add the
Bisquick, sometimes with a little milk. I have also done these with
Mexican
cheese and they're great that way. I cool them at dg375 for around 20
minutes.

I have never counted but it makes a lot. My mother holds a yearly
reception for which I make two batches. We usually have some left over.

Looks good. Any idea how many this makes? I'm having a party soon and
I'd like to get an idea of yield.

Here's one. I hope it is what you are looking for.

Sausage Cheese Balls
3 cups bisquick
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1 pound bulk sausage.
Combine all ingredients until a dough forms. I usually use my hands
to do this. Roll into small balls and bake on ungreased baking sheets
at 350 for about twenty minutes.

I thought I had my grandmother's sausage balls recipe, but it seems it
slipped out of the house at some point and got lost on its way back
from Vegas or something. I know it had sausage, of course, and a high
bread content, and hers also had cheese in them. Anyone got one that
meets these criteria?
