Units
Scale
- 1 (11.36-ounce) box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (including seasoning packet)
- 1 pound ground sausage (uncooked)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the biscuit mix (including the seasoning packet), ground sausage, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook can make this process easier.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the sausage balls to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or with dipping sauces like ranch dressing or honey mustard.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the sausage balls and freeze them unbaked. When ready to serve, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Spicy Variation: For a spicier version, consider using hot sausage or adding red pepper flakes to the mixture.
