Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground pork sausage, such as Jimmy Dean, at room temperature
- 2 cups biscuit baking mix
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
- 8 oz. grated sharp cheddar cheese
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment.
- Combine the sausage, baking mix and scallions, if using, in a large bowl and gently knead with your hands until the baking mix is fully incorporated. Add the cheddar and continue to mix until the cheese is evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon to scoop, divide the mixture into walnut-size pieces and shape into balls with your hands. Arrange on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart, about 20 balls per baking sheet.
- Bake until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through, about 26 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
