Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground breakfast sausage, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and all-purpose flour.
Step 3
Add the baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Pour in the milk and continue mixing until the dough comes together and is sticky but firm enough to shape into balls.
Step 5
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place each sausage ball about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sausage balls cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy!
