Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls are a savory, cheesy appetizer made with biscuit mix, breakfast sausage, and sharp cheddar cheese, baked to golden perfection and brushed with a garlic butter glaze.

Ingredients

1 box Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (11.36 ounces)

16 ounces breakfast sausage

16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

¼ cup milk, as needed

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix, breakfast sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix with hands until dough holds together. Add milk a little at a time if needed to moisten.
  3. Take small amounts of dough, squeeze tightly, and roll into about 2-inch balls. Repeat to make 32 sausage balls.
  4. Place sausage balls about ½ inch apart on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until fully cooked through and golden brown.
  6. Mix melted butter with the seasoning packet from the biscuit mix. Brush sausage balls with garlic butter mixture after baking.

Notes

  • Swap breakfast sausage for spicy Italian sausage for more heat.
  • Use a blend of cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar for varied flavor.
  • Add chopped green onions or jalapeños for extra zest.
  • Make mini versions for bite-sized appetizers.
  • Substitute biscuit mix with plain mix and add garlic powder and parsley if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in a 350˚F oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Freeze uncooked sausage balls on a tray, then transfer to freezer bags; bake from frozen adding extra minutes.
