Notes:
I used a roll of Jimmy Dean sausage in this recipe.
I used Aunt Jemima pancake mix. Pancake mix is a little different from Bisquick. One difference is that it is a little sweeter. It gives these bites the perfect amount of sweetness. Not too much; just enough.
Can Sausage Pancake Bites be frozen? Yes! You can assemble the bites ahead of time and freeze them unbaked for a quick breakfast or snack later. Roll the mixture into balls and place on a baking sheet. Pop the sheet into the freezer. When the balls are frozen, transfer them to a freezer ziplock bag.
To bake the balls after freezing, just add a couple of minutes to the cooking time.
My number one tip for making this recipe is to mix everything using your KitchenAid Stand Mixer. It is PERFECT! Just attach the dough hook and place all the ingredients in the bowl of the mixer. Turn the mixer on low and it will do all the mixing for you. No more gross sausage hands!
