Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork sausage
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together with your hands or a sturdy spatula until the mixture is well combined. It should form a slightly sticky but moldable dough.
Step 4
Gradually add the milk into the mixture to help bind the ingredients. Mix thoroughly after each addition. You might not need the full 1/4 cup—just use enough to ensure the mixture holds together when rolled.
Step 5
Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through. An internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) ensures the sausage is fully cooked.
Step 7
Remove the sausage balls from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or marinara sauce. Enjoy!
