Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound raw pork breakfast sausage mild or hot
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups baking mix such as Bisquick

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl, baking sheet, foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease.
  2. Mix softened cream cheese and sausage until mostly combined.
  3. Add baking mix and knead until no dry pockets remain.
  4. Roll into 1–1¼-inch balls and place on the prepared sheet.
  5. Bake 18–22 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Soften the cream cheese fully. Keep balls uniform in size. These freeze well unbaked. Serve with mustard or barbecue sauce for dipping.
