New Recipe Every Month in 2012: Sausage Balls

The other day I couldn't stop craving  Sausage Balls. I love Sausage Balls, and I hadn't had any Sausage Balls in years and years. I had never even heard of Sausage Balls until I moved to Alabama at age 11. Once we moved to Alabama, I joined the Youth Group at a local church, and after every Sunday Morning service, they would serve a huge pot luck breakfast. The most popular item was always the Sausage Balls, and we would all fight over those little heavenly things. So I thought for my first new recipe of 2012, I would whip up something that is kind of nostalgic for me.

They turned out perfectly and I swear nothing has ever smelled more heavenly than they did when they were cooking.  So here is the recipe. Depending on how big you make them, this can make about 30-40 balls (I keep giggling when I read that, I wish I was mature enough that they didn't sound dirty).

Ingredients:

1 lb Spicy Sausage (non-spicy if you don't enjoy a kick)
8 oz Cream Cheese (Softened)
4 oz Grated Cheddar Cheese
1 1/4 Cups Bisquick Mix

Directions:

1. Thoroughly Combine All Ingredients (I used the dough hook on my kitchen aid mixer)
2. Form 1-inch Balls and Place on Greased Cooking Sheet
3. Bake at 375 degree for 25-30 minutes or until Fully Browned
