Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground sausage
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground sausage, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix together thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spoon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry mixture to the sausage mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. If the mixture feels too dry to roll, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it binds together easily.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon-sized scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the sausage balls cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, honey mustard, or marinara, and enjoy!
