Description

These cute sausage balls are easy to make with pork sausage, baking mix, onion, and Cheddar cheese for a fun, crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

2 (16 ounce) packages Regular Flavor Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage
4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups all-purpose baking mix
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Combine sausage, cheese, baking mix, onion, celery, garlic, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl; stir well until combined. Form into balls about 1-inch in diameter; place on an ungreased baking sheet.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before serving with cocktail forks or toothpicks.
