SAUSAGE CHEESE BALL APPETIZERS



Sausage Cheese Ball Appetizers image

A simple breakfast or brunch food that only requires three ingredients. Tastes just as good with turkey sausage instead of pork.

Provided by Simply Sarah

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 70-100 balls, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 cups baking mix
1 lb mild pork sausage
10 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Shred cheese.
  • Let cheese and sausage come to room temperature. You can rush this step in the microwave but take care not to melt the cheese or cook the sausage.
  • Combine ingredients in a bowl. This is easiest done adding ingredients a third at a time and mixing with your hands. If you notice the mixture getting too crumbly and not sticking together, reduce the amount of all purpose baking mix when adding the last third.
  • Form into balls about a quarter size in diameter. If they are larger this is fine, they will just need to cook longer.
  • Place as many balls as possible on an ungreased cookie sheet leaving just enough space between so they are not touching.
  • Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Adjust cooking time as necessary for the size of the balls formed.
  • Great served warm or at room temperature. They reheat great in the microwave.
