Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Italian Sausage Pizza Balls.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give a large baking sheet a light greasing to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the flavorful ground Italian sausage with the gooey shredded mozzarella cheese, a generous scoop of baking mix, and the vibrant chopped green bell pepper and yellow onion.
Step 3
Add in ½ cup of zesty pizza sauce, a sprinkle of garlic powder, a dash of Italian seasoning, and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Mix everything together until it’s all beautifully blended.
Step 5
Now, using your hands, roll the mixture into delightful 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to give them some space to breathe.
Step 6
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the pizza balls bake for about 23 to 25 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Once they’re out of the oven, serve these delicious pizza balls hot, accompanied by the remaining pizza sauce for dipping.
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful burst of flavors in every bite!.
