My son needs to make sausage balls for his food item for his state report on MISSOURI! Has to use a product from his assigned state - so we thought of hogs and sausage. Anyone have a yummy recipe for sausage balls. Need to take to school Weds. thanks.

Hi Daisy, here's the recipe I always use....

1 lb. sausage

8 oz shredded sharp cheese

3 cups bisquick

Mix thouroughly ( I always use my hands). Make into small size balls. Bake at 325 degrees for 35 minutes. These can be frozen and used as needed. Do not thaw prior to baking.

I always use hot sausage, but for the kids at school, the regular would probably be best! Yum, I haven't made any for awhile, and now you got me craving them! Enjoy!

Sausage Balls III
Here is a version of sausage ball that calls for
   processed cheese sauce instead of shredded cheese, for easier
   handling. It's a quick and easy recipe for unexpected
   gatherings. Prep Time: approx. 10 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 15
   Minutes. Ready in: approx. 25 Minutes. Makes 10 to 12 balls (6
   servings).
    FromAllrecipes

1/2 pound fresh, ground pork sausage 1/2 pound fresh, ground spicy    pork sausage

3 ounces processed cheese sauce 2 cups buttermilk biscuit    dry mix

Directions
1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2 In a medium-sized bowl, combine regular sausage with
   spicy sausage, cheese and biscuit mix. Mix well and form
   into small balls, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches diameter. Place
   on a cookie sheet. Bake until fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
