An old friend of mine introduced me to these little treats years ago and shared the recipe. It is also posted on the Bisquick site. They freeze well, travel well and eat wonderfully. Minced Jalapeno, Rosemary and Thyme are good additions.

How to Make Sausage Cheese Balls

Step-by-Step

1Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
2TIPS:
Crumble sausage and add ingredients in layers to make mixing easier. The dough will be very heavy and you will have to get your hands dirty but a spoon just doesn't do the job. I once broke a wooden spoon trying to combine this dough.
3Roll into 1 inch balls and place a fingers width apart on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until dough is not gummy.
4These are great alone or with a dipping sauce like bb-que sauce, chili sauce, queso sauce or hors3hradish/mayo sauce.
