Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 45 servings

  • 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage

  • 2 cups biscuit baking mix

  • 10 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup evaporated milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Combine sausage, baking mix, Cheddar cheese, egg, and evaporated milk in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix on low speed until thoroughly combined.

  3. Shape sausage mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange onto baking sheets.

  4. Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Cook’s Note

Bake these on a baking stone if you have one.

Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave until warm, about 20 seconds.

Use your favorite type of ground sausage to make different styles.
