Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use ground sausage that is not too lean, or the sausage balls will be dry.
• Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the sausage balls tough.
• If you don't have Bisquick, you can use all-purpose flour instead.
• For a kick of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the batter.
