Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground pork sausage, mild or hot
- 2 cups biscuit mix (e.g., Bisquick)
- 1 pound shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk, optional
Instructions
- Take the sausage and cheese out of the refrigerator about 15 minutes ahead of time.
- Heat the oven to 350 F.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw sausage and cheese with the biscuit mix, and mix until well blended. The fat from the uncooked sausage will moisten the balls more as they bake. If the mixture seems too dry, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Shape the mixture into balls and arrange them on the baking sheet, leaving about an inch between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and the sausage is thoroughly cooked. If you have an instant-read thermometer, the minimum safe temperature for ground pork is 160 F (if using turkey sausage, 165 F).
