Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups all-purpose baking mix (e.g., Bisquick)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons 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 pork sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and baking mix.
If desired, add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
Use your hands to mix everything together until the ingredients are well combined. The mixture will feel slightly sticky.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each ball.
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 them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
