Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage

- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and flour.
Step 3
Add the baking powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper to the sausage mixture.

Slowly pour in the milk, mixing until the mixture is thoroughly combined. It should be moist but firm enough to hold its shape.

Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter.
Step 8
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
