Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups All-purpose baking mix (e.g., Bisquick)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground breakfast sausage and softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, baking mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Continue mixing until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. You may need to use your hands to fully combine everything.
Once the mixture is well combined, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Place the sausage balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the sausage balls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or honey mustard.
