Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb. mild sausage
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 1/2 c. Bisquick baking mix
2 c. grated Pepper Jack cheese
3 T. chopped pickled jalapeno OR 1 (4.5 oz.) can chopped green chilies

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined.
Form into small balls, about 1-inch in size. (I use a small cookie scoop for easing forming.)
Place on a foil-lined baking pan lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 400℉ until cooked through and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Jalapeno Pepper Jack Sausage Balls may be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen. When ready to serve, thaw (if frozen) and reheat in a 350℉ oven for about 5 minutes.
These are wonderful made with either chopped pickled jalapeno or canned chopped green chilies, however we do love them best with the pickled jalapeno. They're a little bit spicier with the jalapeno, just the way we like them!
