The BEST Sausage Balls
Let me tell you about my all-time favorite recipe – the BEST Sausage Balls. I learned this recipe from my grandmother when I was just a little girl, and it has been a staple in my family ever since. These savory bites are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, a potluck, or just a cozy night in by the fireplace.
Now, let’s gather all the ingredients we need to make these delicious sausage balls:
Ingredients:
– 1 pound of ground sausage
– 2 cups of baking mix
– 4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup of milk
First, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, baking mix, cheddar cheese, and milk. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but easy to form into balls.
Once the mixture is ready, start shaping it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are evenly spaced apart. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
These sausage balls are best served warm, so make sure to enjoy them fresh out of the oven. They are incredibly addictive, so be prepared to make a second batch because the first one will disappear in no time!
Cooking Tips:
If you want to add an extra kick to these sausage balls, try using spicy ground sausage or mixing in some chopped jalapenos. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, like pepper jack or mozzarella, to create unique flavor combinations.
For a healthier twist, you can use turkey sausage and low-fat cheese in this recipe. They may not be as indulgent as the original version, but they are just as delicious and perfect for those looking to cut back on calories.
