Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Ball Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground sausage
  • 2 cups biscuit baking mix
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the sausage balls evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, biscuit baking mix, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, milk, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a uniform mixture.
  3. Shape Balls: Take portions of the mixture and shape them into 1-inch diameter balls. Place each ball evenly spaced on a baking sheet to allow proper air circulation for even baking.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the sausage balls turn golden brown on the outside and are fully cooked through on the inside.
  5. Serve Warm: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve the sausage balls warm as a delightful appetizer or snack and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use mild or spicy ground sausage depending on your flavor preference.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
  • For crispier sausage balls, bake a few extra minutes but monitor closely to avoid burning.
  • These sausage balls can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Feel free to add herbs like parsley or a pinch of cayenne for extra flavor.
