Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
• 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Optional add-ins (e.g., chopped parsley, minced garlic)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. If using optional add-ins like parsley or garlic, mix them in as well.

Step 3

Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until fully combined. The mixture may feel slightly sticky but should hold together.

Step 4

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a firm ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used, placing each ball on the prepared baking sheet 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 the baking sheet from the oven and allow the sausage cheese balls to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Serve warm as is, or with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch dressing or marinara.
