Picture Perfect Cooking

This recipe is a Southern classic appetizer!  I bet these have been served at 80% of the pot lucks with which I have been involved.  They are easy to make and oh-so-good, and there are just 3 ingredients!  I use mild sausage, but if you like a little more kick, use hot!

1 lb pork sausage, mild or hot

3 cups baking mix (I used Bisquick)

4 cups grated Cheddar cheese, mild or sharp

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.  Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  Mix well with your fingers.  (I use plastic gloves so I don’t have sausage underneath my nails.)  The mixture will be very crumbly.  Form into 1 inch balls, squeezing the mixture so it holds together. 

Place the balls on the prepped baking sheet.  Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown on top and bottom.  I have found the best way to keep them warm is to put them in a slow cooker that has a “keep warm” setting on it.  They will stay hot, but not dry out as much.
