Jenny's Sausage Balls
I haven’t posted my story about my dear friend Jenny Davidson, but the fact that she not only wrote her “go-to” recipe for me but also supplied step-by-step photos just gives you a taste of the organized and above-and-beyond type person she is. I can’t wait to share her story soon.
From Jenny: These are a great breakfast treat, you can serve as a two-bite item at a party or brunch, or make-ahead and heat up for 15 seconds on a school day. We often make them on holidays. For example, we will have as an appetizer with coffee on Christmas morning while we open gifts before we make a full breakfast for everyone. They are a crowd pleaser, easy, and liked by kids and adults.
JENNY’S SAUSAGE BALLS
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound Jimmy Dean Sausage (Original)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup Bisquick Mix
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all ingredients in bowl. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Form 1-inch balls with the prepared ingredients. Bake 16-18 minutes.
Tips from Jenny:
Use spatula to remove and put on paper towels to absorb any grease from the cheese, before putting on a serving tray.
Store in airtight container and heat up in microwave for 15 seconds if having as a leftover.
Can form the 1-inch balls and freeze if wanting to prep ahead. Then take out of freezer the day before and just cook once thawed.
Can add a dash of Cholula sauce if you want to try with a little kick!
You can use pre-shredded cheese or grate yourself. I always think the cheese melts better together when you do the grating.
