3-Ingredient Pimento Cheese Sausage Balls

From Carrie Morey's Hot Little Suppers cookbook

Ingredients

  • • 2 cups Biscuit Mix (Buttermilk or Gluten-Free)
  • • 1lbs Porter Road Sweet Italian Sausage
  • • 12oz Pimento Cheese


  • Swap Pimento Cheese for:
  • • 6oz butter
  • • 2 cups shredded cheddar
  • • 1/2 to 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • If you have 20 minutes, you can make this appetizer or breakfast snack. It is super easy because all you have to do is dump, mix, and roll! The key here is to use quality ingredients! I obviously reach for our biscuit mix (or gluten-free mix) and pimento cheese. One of my favorite places to get quality meats is Porter Road. I love their Sweet Italian Sausage. It is super flavorful and has no fillers, but don't let the name fool you... this sausage has a kick that I absolutely adore!

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Cook sweet Italian sausage in a cast iron. Drain well. 
    3. In a large bowl, place two cups of biscuit mix. Add drained sausage and pimento cheese. Combine. (If subbing pimento cheese, add butter and mix with your hands until it reaches the consistency of grated parmesan cheese. Then add drained sausage and shredded cheese. Combine before adding buttermilk slowly to bring the mixture together.)
    4. Roll combined ingredients into small, bite sized balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
    5. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
