- 2 cups All-purpose biscuit mix (such as Bisquick)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
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 sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, biscuit mix, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Step 3
Using your hands or a sturdy spoon, mix the ingredients together until fully combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
Step 4
Scoop out portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into small balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sausage cheese balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, and enjoy!
