Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound hot pork sausage

8 ounce block cream cheese, softened

2 cups Bisquick baking mix

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together 1 pound hot pork sausage and 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened (note this can be done in a bowl with a hand mixer or by hand as well.)

Add in 2 cups Bisquick baking mix and stir until combined.

Then add in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Feel free to be generous with your cheese measurements. Add more if you like more. Stir until combined.

Scoop up meat mixture and form into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet. I find this easiest with a spring loaded cookie scoop. If they don't come out round enough, you can just roll them around in your hand a bit.

Then pop the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to chill (this will help keep them from spreading out while baking.)

Once they are chilled, bake for about 25 minutes. Then serve!
