Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground sausage
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground sausage, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix together thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spoon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the sausage mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. If the mixture feels too dry to roll, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it binds together easily.
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the sausage balls cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, honey mustard, or marinara, and enjoy!
