Sausage Balls 2

Ingredients

1 pound ground pork sausage, at room temperature
2 cups biscuit baking mix
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, optional
One 8-ounce package sharp Cheddar, grated

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

Combine the sausage, baking mix and scallions if using in a large bowl and gently knead with your hands until the baking mix is fully incorporated. Add the Cheddar and continue to mix until the cheese is evenly distributed.

Using a tablespoon to scoop, divide the mixture into walnut-size pieces and shape into balls with your hands. Arrange on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart, about 20 balls per baking sheet.

Bake until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through, about 26 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
