Lip Smacking Good Sausage Balls

2 1/2 cups baking mix

2 1/2 cups sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese

1 lb hot sausage (we use Jimmy Dean)

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

2 or 3 green onions finely chopped (green tops only)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Break apart sausage into a mixing bowl

Add remainder of ingredients

Using your fingers, mix this all together. It is gonna take a bit of work but don’t worry, it really does all mix together to form a dough.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet

Bake for 20 – 24 minutes

Remove from baking sheet right away

Now…..ENJOY!!!

Makes approximately 5 dozen

If you would like to freeze these, put them on a baking sheet, and instead of baking, pop them into the freezer until firm. You can then plop them all into a Ziploc and freeze them until you are ready to use them. You will need to extend the baking for a few minutes when baking from a frozen state.
