Sausage Balls image

Sausage balls are a classic party appetizer for a crowd and they couldn't be simpler--just mix, shape and bake. We've included thinly sliced scallions in our version for subtle onion flavor and a touch of color.

Time 40m

Yield 40 balls

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound ground pork sausage, such as Jimmy Dean, at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
2 cups biscuit baking mix, such as Bisquick (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, optional
One 8-ounce package sharp Cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Combine the sausage, baking mix and scallions if using in a large bowl and gently knead with your hands until the baking mix is fully incorporated. Add the Cheddar and continue to mix until the cheese is evenly distributed.
  • Using a tablespoon to scoop, divide the mixture into walnut-size pieces and shape into balls with your hands. Arrange on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart, about 20 balls per baking sheet.
  • Bake until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through, about 26 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
