  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the room temperature ground sausage, baking mix, and freshly shredded cheddar cheese. Use your hands or a stand mixer to mix until thoroughly combined and no dry patches remain.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them about an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should be at least 160°F.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Tip 1: For the best results, grate your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can make the sausage balls greasy.
Tip 2: Don't overbake! This is the most common reason for dry sausage balls. Pull them out as soon as they are golden brown.
Tip 3: For an extra rich flavor, add 4 oz of softened cream cheese to the mixture.
