Sweet Potato and Chorizo Sausage Bites Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by BearForce

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo sausage, casings removed
2 1/4 cups all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick)
1 (8-oz.) pkg. pre-shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chilled mashed roasted sweet potato
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons plum jam or scuppernong jelly
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Stir together sausage, baking mix, cheese, mashed sweet potato, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Roll into 48 (1 1/2-inch) balls, and place about 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until sausage balls are cooked through and deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir together jelly and mustard in a small bowl until well blended. (If your jelly is too stiff to blend, microwave mixture at HIGH in 15-second increments until soft enough to stir.) Serve with sausage balls. Note: Sausage balls can be frozen on baking sheet and transferred to ziplock plastic freezer bags for storage. Bake from frozen. (You may need to add 1 or 2 minutes to baking time.)
