Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for making sausage balls:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) ground sausage (you can use mild, spicy, or your preferred variety)
- 2 cups (240g) baking mix (such as Bisquick or another brand)
- 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, baking mix, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, and any optional seasonings you’re using (garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper). Use your hands or a spoon to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined.
- Form balls: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 4 cm) in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You should be able to make around 24 to 30 sausage balls, depending on the size.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the sausage balls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the sausage balls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. You can serve them warm as a delicious appetizer or snack. They also make great finger food for parties or gatherings.
Enjoy your homemade sausage balls!
