Warm, cheesy and packed with savory flavor is what this bread is all about! It’s just the thing to serve with soup and salad or toasted for breakfast.
We are big time soup lovers here and I am always on the lookout for a little something to serve on the side so, when I ran across my favorite recipe for cheese balls, it got me thinking…how about making this into a loaf. There were just a few changes I needed to make to turn this into bread and happily, it worked. I served nice, thick slices along side a bowl of cannelloni bean soup and we celebrated a happy Wednesday.
This bread is great served for any meal and it’s also is a great treat to give to folks during the holidays. Every Christmas, I make several loaves, wrap them in cellophane then tie the whole package up with a pretty ribbon. My friends and neighbors love getting a homemade gift especially one that tastes this good!

why the mayo? Not something we use so I don't keep it in the house – what could I substitute?
Hey Lynn. Good question. You need the mayo for the "fat/oil" plus other flavors. I'd try some light oil, maybe canola but also would add a little salt and squeeze of lemon to get the right taste. Let me know what you think. And BTW…mayo is not a bad thing, it's easy to make your own and can be light and with lots of flavor!
Happy 2014. friend!

Do you think this would be good to use for a hearty french toast?
Sounds interesting. I have toasted a slice and served it with an over easy egg on top. It was delicious. Let me know how it turn out Sandra!

We loved it. Found the recipe on interest today and my daughter made it tonight. We used cottage cheese instead of the mayo and that was great. Sausage balls are always a fav in our house so we are very happy to have found this recipe.
Love this, Donya! I'm going to pin it. Thanks for sharing!

Made this today for a breakfast at work. Yummy! I like this much better than the sausage balls I usually make.
I've made this quite a few times, and it is a HUGE hit!! Homerun recipe!
This looks delicious! I am going to make it tomorrow! Do I need to refrigerate the leftovers?
Oh, Donya! This looks so good! I can't wait to try this recipe. I think I will use the bread as a base for Eggs Benedict and serve fresh sliced tomatoes. YUMM!!! 😉
Kimberly
Yummm! This looks delicious! Definitely have to make this!
What kind of pork sausage did you use?? – Natalie
Try using flavored sausage (maple, sage, hot, etc..); the maple is wonderful!!
Wondering if this bread can be made ahead of time of my event and put in the freezer? If so, how would you recommend that it be reheated?
Yes it can be made ahead of time. Just wrap in tin foil and heat in a low oven, say 300 for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Thanks for stopping by!

Can this be frozen for a month and saved for the holidays?
YES! I’ve frozen it several times and it turns out great. Reheats really well.

Does this need to be served hot or can you make the bread ahead and serve it room temperature or cold?
This bread is great served at room temperature. It’s also great toasted.
Thanks!

Noelle,
You can certainly try. I’m not sure how the texture will turn out with just straight cornmeal since Bisquick has leavening agents. Let me know how it works out.
XO,
~Donya
Can I sub other ingredients for the Bisquick? Thanks!
You can sub homemade “Bisquick” mix. Unfortunately, I don’t have a recipe for that.
Thanks, Karen.
I am going to try this in the new year as muffins. Will probably freeze them and use as a grab and go breakfast or lunch. In the past I have done something similar by adding sausage to the Red Lobster biscuit mix.

This was so good. It reminded me the the sausage balls my Mom made.
Thank you so much! I so appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts. Have a great 2018, Sandy!

Made this for coffee after church. Went over really well. I added extra sage, red pepper flakes, and some green peppers.. Next time I may use a little less bisquick. It was a little dry. Good recipe to try.
Yum, yes please! Thanks for the party and this great recipe!
You are so welcome!

Can this be baked in a bundt cake pan?
Hey Lois! Sure, I think so. The bundt pan would be a great idea. Send me a pic!

I’m a little.confused. The early instructions say 19 minute cook time but the directions say 45-50.
Hey Jamie. Thanks for comment. The recipe has been updated. The early cook time was incorrect.
Have a great day!
