Aunt Marjories Sausage Balls Food

SAUSAGE BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Combine the sausage, baking mix and scallions if using in a large bowl and gently knead with your hands until the baking mix is fully incorporated. Add the Cheddar and continue to mix until the cheese is evenly distributed.
• Using a tablespoon to scoop, divide the mixture into walnut-size pieces and shape into balls with your hands. Arrange on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart, about 20 balls per baking sheet.
• Bake until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through, about 26 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

AUNT MARJORIE'S SAUSAGE BALLS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375°. Break sausage up into very small pices before beginning this. Combine all ingredients (have them at room temperature) in a large bowl with your hands. Shape into balls about the size of a large grape - should make about 48 balls. Don't make the balls too big, because they swell a bit when cooking.
• 2. Place the sausage balls on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° until slightly browned, about 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. The last time I made them it took 23 minutes. Don't let them get too brown because they will dry out. Store leftovers (if any!) airtight.

AUNT POLLY'S SAUSAGE BALLS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350*
• 2. Place all ingredients into large mixing bowl. Mix by hand. I use latex gloves and just keep mashing it until I get everything mixed in well. It will be stiff, but you can add a little more milk if you feel you need it to get it all mixed together.
• 3. Roll into 1 inch balls (I wear the gloves for this too. Keeps it from sticking to your hands). Place onto non-stick cookie sheet. They can be placed close together, but not touching because they don't get a lot bigger than the original size.
• 4. Bake for 20 minutes until they start to become brown. Sometimes the bottoms will brown quicker because of the sausage and cheese, but they are just dark, not burnt.
• 5. I usually double this recipe so I can take some to work and leave some for home. Enjoy!
