Sausage Cheese Balls image

From Chef John, Foodwishes. My family loved this. I'd like to make again using a bit more meat in the ratio. I also like to add crushed red pepper to taste mixed in (I grind mine a bit finer in an old coffee grinder).

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 48 Pieces, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 lbs raw hot italian pork sausage (remove the casings from uncooked, link-style sausages)
1/2 cup finely sliced green onion
1/2 lb shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 3 cups)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk (or more if needed)

Steps:

  • Mix together sausage, cheese and green onion.
  • In separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients. (This is equivalent to biscuit mix or self rising flour--so you could substitute if you wish).
  • Mix flour mixture with meat/cheese mixture.
  • When mixed fairly well, sprinkle in milk and mix until you get mixture to where it can be shaped into balls.
  • Shape into balls about the size of a walnut or slightly larger.
  • Bake at 450° for 12 - 15 minutes or until cooked thoroughly. (I like to broil for a minute or two for extra color at the end).
  • Serve with your favorite sauce. I like to make a dijonnaise with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to taste.
