Sausage Balls

This week for SAE meeting I decided to make sausage balls and orange slices. Something healthy with something not so healthy. The combination of the two smells, oddly, compliment each other. I had some requests for the recipe for my sausage balls (David), so I decided to post it!

They are really easy to make, and all the ingredients only cost me $20 and one batch makes 6 dozen sausage balls.

Sausage Balls

Ingredients:

• 2 packages (2 lbs) hot flavored Jimmy Dean pork sausage
• 1 1/2 cups baking mix (I use pancake mix)
• 16 oz. (4 cups) Sharp Cheddar or Jalapeno Jack Cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped jalapeno (about 3)
• 1/2 cup onion (about 1/2 of one onion)
• 2 tsp minced garlic (1 clove)
• 1 tsp chili powder

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Combine all the ingredients and roll into 1' inch balls. Line a baking sheet with foil (easier for clean up) and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and eat up! The boys demolished them in about 10 seconds.
