Instructions

Preheat oven to 400.
In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt, and oil and blend together thoroughly with a large spoon. Alternately, you can add 2-¼ cups Bisquick to the bowl.
Add to the flour mixture the sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onions and mix thoroughly with your hands, squeezing gently to incorporate.
Form into 1-inch balls, rolling between your palms to make fairly smooth and even.
Add each ball to your sheet pan or cookie sheet, spacing fairly closely together.
Cook each batch for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving. Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat for about 10 minutes in 350 oven if desired before serving leftovers. Makes 5-6 dozen.

Notes

Don't make the balls too big, and try to keep them all about the same size. I made mine about 1 inch in diameter. If you vary the size too much, some will get done quicker.

When mixing, try to get the mixture as evenly mixed as possible so all the flavors will be tasted in each ball.

You will likely need to make these cream cheese sausage balls in two batches unless you have a double oven or an extra large oven.

Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat for about 10 minutes in 350 oven if desired before serving leftovers.
