Sausage Balls

Ingredients

• 1 lb bulk hot sausage
• 3 C Bisquick
• 1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

1. Mix Dough: Combine all ingredients and knead until well mixed.
2. Shape: Roll into 1" balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Bake: Bake @375°F for 25 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
4. Cheese Options: Cheddar works well, but marble jack or pepper jack are excellent substitutes with great flavor.

Chef's Notes

• Total prep time is ~30 minutes. Mixing takes about as long as the oven preheats. Using a stand mixer significantly reduces prep time.
• Use a 2-oz cookie scoop to form evenly sized balls.
• Adding ½ C milk makes the mixture easier to work with.
• Add ½ C grated Parmesan (4 oz) for extra zing.
