Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper, and mix well with your hands or a sturdy spatula until evenly combined.
Slowly add the milk, a tablespoon at a time, to help bind the mixture together. The dough should be moist but not sticky. Adjust the amount of milk as needed.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake the sausage balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, barbecue, or ranch.
