I am marking this with 5 stars, only because this is a great base for the meatballs. I did however change 1 thing. I used only 1 cup of Bisquick, because I felt this had too much of it from the start. I want to taste the sausage and not bread. It turned out spectacular.
Not sure why but mine ended up very powdery and falling apart. The flavor certainly isn’t bad though
These were just delicious. I made one small change…added a Tbsp red pepper flakes in place of fennel. We always add Montreal Steak Seasoning to our turkey burgers, but never thought of it on sausage. Added flavor is awesome!
