Cream Cheese Sausage Balls Recipe

Ingredients:

• - 1 lb ground sausage (pork or turkey)
• - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• - 1 cup biscuit mix (such as Bisquick)
• - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• - 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, biscuit mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and easy to form into balls.

3. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

4. Bake the sausage balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The outside should be slightly crisp while the inside remains tender.

5. Remove the sausage balls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
