Time 55m

Yield 60 sausage balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 cups Bisquick baking mix
2 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small bits
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°; grease two baking sheets well with butter or coat with cooking spray.
  • Dipping sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and mustard; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the sausage balls are ready to serve.
  • Sausage balls: in a large bowl, knead together all of the sausage ball ingredients until well combined.
  • If the mixture seems dry, add 1-2 tablespoons water, as needed to bring the mixture together.
  • Form the mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Take care that the sausage balls don't touch, as that will make them take longer to cook.
  • Bake until they are golden all over, about 25 minutes.
  • Set the sausage balls on paper towels to drain off excess grease, then place them on a pretty platter with some cocktail sticks so people don't have to eat them with their fingers.
  • Serve warm with the mustard-mayo sauce for dipping.
