Ingredients

  • 2 ounce rolls pork sausage such as Jimmy Dean
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose baking mix such as Bisquick
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup onion finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray.
  2. Place the sausage, baking mix, cheese, onion, garlic, milk and black pepper in a bowl; stir until thoroughly combined. A stand mixers works great for this!
  3. Roll the meat mixture into 1 inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until browned. Sprinkle with parsley then serve immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

  • I use rolls of bulk pork sausage such as Jimmy Dean. This sausage is readily available in the breakfast meat area of most grocery stores.
  • Use a measuring spoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the sausage mixture so that all of the balls are the same size and cook at the same rate.
  • Skip the bags of pre-shredded cheese at the store and grate your own cheddar. The store bought shredded cheese is often coated with anti caking agents and preservatives and does not melt smoothly.
