Hi Cookin Barb!

I believe the recipe you are looking for is the one with Jimmy Dean Sausage! I do believe it is on this Board. Just do a search. Up at the top of the main page of the Board is a search feature. Click on that and then if you can't find it I will post it later tonight. It will be under the Appetizer heading. Good luck!

The recipe you need is:
Sausage Rolls
1 lb. sausage (I like hot (jalapeno)sausage best
1/2 cup milk
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
3 cups Bisquick
Mix all ingredients together. Mixture will be dry. Form into walnut size balls. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.

I'm not sure if I am using this site correctly so bear with me .

I've been looking for an old bisquick recipe called "Portugese Doughnuts". I made it all the time when my girls were young. You prepare a batter and dip chunks of bread in it and fry. I guess it wouldn't hurt just to use the pancake recipe. Does anyone have that recipe in their archives?
