Appetizer Classic: Sausage Balls

These are a staple for every party, family get-together, holiday, the Super Bowl, World Series, or any other excuse you can think of to clog your arteries with cheesy, sausage-y goodness.

SAUSAGE BALLS

1 pound bulk hot sausage
3 cups Bisquik or other buttermilk baking mix you like that's comparable
1 pound of extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup water

Cook the sausage, breaking it up into small bits as it cooks. Remove from heat, and drain off fat. Place a double layer of paper towels on a large dinner plate and move the sausage to the plate ... this gets rid of the excess greasiness.

In the bowl of a mixer, place the Bisquik, sausage and cheese; stir to coat. Add the water and mix until blended. Roll 1 inch sized balls of the sausage dough out onto a parchment lined baking sheet at least 1 inch apart from each other. Bake in a preheated 400 degree Farenheit oven for 12-15 minutes.
Makes about 60.
