Sausage Balls
These are such a great cocktail party snack. They are so easy to eat and taste great. I also like to make these as an hors d'oeuvre at brunch parties. It is important to use freshly shredded cheese as it gives the dough more moisture.
Sausage Balls
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: about 50 sausage balls
Ingredients
- 1 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 1/2 cups baking mix (I use Biquick)
- 3 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Cooking Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the sausage meat, baking mix, and cheese. Use your hands to completely mix until well blended. The dough will be crumbly. Use your hands to roll into 1 ½ inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each sausage ball with heavy cream. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
