Cheese Recipe 1: Sausage Cheese Balls Appetizer

Sausage Cheese Balls

This recipe will make about three dozen sausage cheese balls.

Ingredients:

1 pound tubed sausage hot, defrosted to room temperature


1 pound sage sausage defrosted to room temperature


4 cups grated Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese


3 Cups baking mix

Method:

Get the oven started by preheating it to 400 degrees. Cook the sausage to beforehand so that it can be well drained, and all extra grease is sopped off with a paper towel. Let cool. Get a large bowl and place sausage in small crumbles into it. Add the cheese. Add the baking mix, ½ cup at a time, mixing well in between. Add the next ½ cup, and mix, and then add the final cups in half increments. The most important part of this recipe is to thoroughly mix the ingredients with hands before forming balls about 2 inches round. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until well set.
