Ingredients
- 1 11.36 oz Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (including seasoning packet)
- 1 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound uncooked sausage
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Biscuit Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix along with the included seasoning packet; this seasoning imparts the signature buttery garlic flavor.
- Smooth Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese thoroughly and mix it until smooth and creamy to ensure it blends well with the other ingredients.
- Mix Sausage and Cheese: Add the uncooked sausage into the cream cheese and mix until well combined. Then incorporate the biscuit mix and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the mixture is uniform and cohesive.
- Form Sausage Balls: Portion the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls using your hands, then place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet spaced evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the sausage balls turn golden brown and the sausage inside is fully cooked through.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Using parchment paper or a silicone liner will help prevent the sausage balls from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Check internal temperature to ensure sausage is cooked to 160°F for safety.
- Feel free to add herbs like parsley or garlic powder for extra flavor if desired.
- These sausage balls can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
