I bet, like me, you didn’t know sausages had balls! ROFL! Sorry, my mind always seems to revert to the gutter.
Last night, before bed, I was hanging out on a message board and one of the posts was looking for a Sausage Balls recipe. I’ve never had them…but I must say that they sounded GOOD!
I had all the ingrediants on hand, so, I took out the bulk pork sausage to defrost over night. Who knew it was going to turn out to be the perfect day to turn on the oven!
Over night the wind picked up. Our house sits alone on 5 acres so we have nothing to protect us from the raw power of the winds whipping across the prairie. The wind that did pick up is COLD, and it’s picking up every grain of dirt and sand available. It’s so bad you can barely see beyond the house. Thankfully we did get a bit of rain before the wind picked up so that succeeded in keeping the dust storm down a bit.
So, I’ve digressed. I got up and made the sausage balls and while they are cooking I thought I would post about them and the recipe in case anyone else would like to try them.
Sausage Balls
1 lb. Sausage
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup grated onions
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Pepper
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Cup Bisquick mix
Mix all into approx 1″ balls and Bake at 400 deg for 10 – 15 min on a greased cookie sheet. Mine are still in the oven so I can’t comment on them…YET. The boys are standing by the oven, salivating, waiting for the timer to go off.
Edited to add: These were good! I had bulk pork sausage, not breakfast sausage. They tasted like a sausage and cheese biscuit all rolled into a bite size container. I made a recipe and a half, and it made 34 1.5″ balls…we plowed through them! There are 10 left and the boys are already fighting over who gets to eat them tomorrow.
