Sausage Balls

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Breakfast Sausage. I usually do the Bob Evans roll but any would work, including spicy.

• 1 8 oz block of Cream Cheese, softened.

• 1 cup of shredded Cheese, again your choice. I usually use a sharp cheddar.

• 1 1/4 cups of Bisquick.

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Add sausage, cheese, and cream cheese to a mixing bowl and mix at low speed until thoroughly combined.

3. Add a cup of Bisquick and mix. Add more as needed (typically about 1/4 cup) until it comes together and looks less sticky.

4. Form into balls and place on the cookie sheet. Makes about 24 balls.

5. Bake 16-20 minutes until the bottoms are brown and crunchy and the tops are starting to brown.

Notes:

• I use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, but you can mix by hand or use hand mixer. It just might be a little less smooth but will still taste good.

• I've subbed in the Red Lobster biscuit mix for the Bisquick before and it works the same. A little extra flavor but a little more $ than Bisquick.
