One of the best recipes from the 70’s that we love. Except ease up on the flour so they aren’t dry. Delish with a mixed drink or even a cold beer!
I think the results are directly related to the fat content in the sausage. I will make them again but use 2 cups biscuit mix. Nice addition to an appetizer tray.
Made it as the recipe directed for New Year’s Eve. They came out great, not dry. I do make mine a little larger than a walnut though. I also do not trust baking times. All ovens are different. Check biscuits before timer goes off
I wasted good sausage and cheese. Thought a dipping sauce would help cause they were so dry, but it didn’t.
Just horrible! Do not waste your time and money.
I love Valerie Bertinelli’s show, but I tried these cheesy sausage snacks over the holiday and they were awful. I don’t believe they should be baked at 400 F or put that much Bisquick in. They were very dry and they got too dark. Sorry Valerie
These are great. I watched Valerie on tv for holiday and did not find the recipe until after I was done. I don’t like Rosemary so substituted onion. I did not add the hot sauce either and these weren’t dry. I used a jiffy buttermilk biscuit mix and added water needed for the mix, then added 1/2 lb hot sausage, 8x oz of italian cheese and 1 tbsp of dry onion seasoning. I did them in a mini muffin pan. Yes it is hard to mix but this was great. So easy to modify a million different ways. I never thought to use the baking mix. I can’t wait to try the lasagna next.
After reading all the reviews, reviewing Valerie’s recipe and the recipe another viewer wrote (which I could not find the recipe provided at all), neither made sense to me…so I did the next best thing, I made “Tammy’s version” and they came out FABULOUS! I am not a professional cook, however I am very intuitive to foods, spices the gammet of textures and flavors and what just makes sense to me. I am sure I was a professional gourmet cook in a past life, hahahahahaha. If anyone is interested, just respond to my comment and I would be happy to provide my version of the cheesy sausage snacks. As long as this is okay with Foodnetwork since it is their website. My recipe I give 5 stars, the other versions I give 2 stars. Happy cooking! Love to all!
Was really good doubled the batch but looked a little dry so I added 4 eggs. So good. Will be making these often.
Just finished making these, followed exactly, and they are delicious. Sure it was a challenge to mix the biscuit mix in but I expected that. I loved the hot sauce and the rosemary, which made them different than the recipe on the biscuit mix box.
