Sausage Balls
Description
Sausage Balls are made by mixing equal parts of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and ground pork sausage with biscuit baking mix, milk, and dried chives to flavor the dough. The biscuit baking mix acts as a binder and provides a tender biscuit-like texture when baked. The mixture is rolled into small balls, typically 24 pieces, placed on a baking sheet, and baked at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
The result is a savory snack featuring a blend of sharp cheese and seasoned pork with a tender but firm texture. The chives add a mild onion flavor enhancing the overall taste. They are typically served hot as finger food or appetizers.
This recipe is straightforward and yields savory bites that can be prepared in advance and warmed when needed. It is a common appetizer choice in many households for casual entertaining.
