CHEESE AND SAUSAGE BALLS

Cheese and Sausage Balls image

From a co-worker in Houston YEARS ago. Great UPDATE!!!! I don't keep bisquick in the house so I was using the food processor and just added the cheese then the sausage......CLEAN HANDS. And in the food processor, they come out much lighter.

Time 50m

Yield 1 Batch

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

3 cups Bisquick (no bisquick? Just use Bisquick Equivalent Simple and set to 3 cups)
1 lb cheese, grated
1 lb sausage (Jimmy Dean is what she used)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix. If your food processor will hold 12 cups, use it, otherwise your hands work well. First pulse in the cheese. Then the sausage and pulse just until all the flour is absorbed. The food processor results are much lighter when cooked. You also get more balls, since they are not so compressed and the hand method.
Form balls.
Bake about 20 minutes.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use a sharp cheddar cheese. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar and Parmesan.
If you don't have any Bisquick, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
To make the sausage balls even more flavorful, you can add in some cooked bacon or crumbled cooked sausage.
If you want to make the sausage balls ahead of time, you can freeze them before baking. To freeze, place the unbaked sausage balls on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Then, transfer the frozen sausage balls to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 3 months. To bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the frozen sausage balls for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Conclusion:

Cheese and sausage balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage and cheese. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of cheese and sausage balls that will be sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these cheese and sausage balls a try.
