Ingredients
– 2 cups baking mix
– 1 pound raw pork sausage
– 16 ounces sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Instructions
1-First: preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and prepare a rimmed baking dish or baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. This sets the stage for easy baking and prevents sticking.
2-Next: in a mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, raw pork sausage, grated cheddar cheese, milk, and Italian seasoning, mixing thoroughly until well combined.
3-Then: form the mixture into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop or your hands, pressing firmly so they hold their shape. Place these balls on the prepared baking sheet for even spacing.
4-Finally: bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until they are browned and the internal temperature reaches 160ºF (71ºC), then serve warm for the best flavor.
