Sausage Cheese Balls

by
A very flavorful sausage and cheese appetizer (think: parties, holidays, and the super bowl!). It’s an AMAZING breakfast side dish too!

EQUIPMENT

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tablespoon (for measuring)

  • 1 pound tube of ground sausage
  • 1½-2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs

INSTRUCTIONS

Pre-heat oven to 375°

In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage, eggs, and cheese. This can be done with a mixer, but just like traditional meatballs or meatloaf, it’s easiest to mix by hand.

For 24 mini sausage balls

Ranch dressing, chive and onion sour cream, honey mustard, or for breakfast, maple syrup.
