Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or hot, like Jimmy Dean)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (full-fat, softened; Philadelphia preferred)
  • 2 cups biscuit baking mix (Bisquick or gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a large bowl, crumble the sausage into small pieces; slightly frozen sausage works best.
  • Add softened cream cheese to the bowl and let it stand 10 minutes for easy mixing.
  • Stir in biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until a tacky dough forms.
  • Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion dough into balls; chill hands or dough if sticky.
  • Place balls 1 inch apart on the sheet and bake 18–20 minutes until golden brown and firm.
  • Let sausage balls rest 5 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

To freeze uncooked, place on a tray until firm, then bag for up to 3 months. Adjust ball size for cooking time.
