Ingredients
- 2 Cups sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 lb sausage - uncooked - hot or mild your choice.
- 2 Cups biscuit mix
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temp
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375. Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Shred the cheese if not already shredded and mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl using your hands. Form into 1 inch - golf ball sized balls.
- Makes 6 dozen 1 inch balls. Makes 2 dozen golf ball sized balls. If you go for the golf ball size balls, you will note that they squash down a little on the bottom side.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes for 1 inch balls, 20-30 minutes for golf ball sized balls.
- Remove from the oven, allow the baking sheet to cool for a minute or two and then remove the sausage balls to a baking rack to cool completely. OK, go ahead, pop one in your mouth - but be careful- they might still be hot!
- Perfect for freezing.
Notes
- SUBSTITUTIONS
- Bisquick - You can NOT substitute plain flour for the biscquick, makes it yucky. That said, off brand is fine. Aldi makes a great substitute for Bisquick, it's called Baking Mix.
- Cream Cheese - Feel free to go with the lower fat versions or Neufchatel
- Cheddar Cheese - Want to add some flavor? Try a Pepper Jack. You can also try some Provolone or any other cheese that melts good.
- Spices - We love onion and garlic around here but feel free to try some of the following Cayenne, paprika, everything bagel, a sprinkle of hot sauce, yellow mustard or a dash of fish sauce.
- Sausage - We recommend using breakfast sausage BUT you can also use Italian Sausage, venison sausage or any spiced ground meat you prefer. I assume turkey and chicken sausages would work too!
- You CAN use a mixer to beat these together, but I like to use my hands, it's just as easy.
- The cream cheese makes these sausage balls slightly moist
- The smaller balls tend to hold their shape best when baking.
- These sausage balls will flatten a bit as they bake, no worries, they remain delicious!
- You will note grease on the baking sheet - just don’t look - better out than in as I like to say.
- There is a REAL danger in eating WAY too many of these, causes a belly ache. Ask Sarah, she will tell you.
- These are great the next morning crumbled up in your grits. Just saying.
