Sausage Balls And Dip Food

SAUSAGE BALLS WITH TWO DIPPING SAUCES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the cheese and sausage briefly on slow speed. Add the biscuit mix a little at a time increasing the mixer speed as needed.
• Roll the mixture into 1" diameter balls and place on baking sheets. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on the pans.
• Note: the sausage balls may be mixed and rolled, placed on the baking sheets, and frozen. When frozen, remove and place in plastic freezer storage bags. If cooking from frozen, allow several more minutes of cooking time.
• To prepare the dipping sauces, mix each sauce's ingredients together in a small bowl. Stir until well blended.

SPICY SAUSAGE BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the sausage, Cheddar, baking mix, garlic powder and salt and knead with your hands until a homogenous dough forms (this will take about 5 minutes). Pinch off golf ball-size pieces of dough, roll them into balls and arrange them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftover sausage balls in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

SAUSAGE BALLS

Steps:

• Allow cheese and sausage to reach room temperature.
• Place in mixing bowl with Bisquick and blend until smooth. (I've had great success using my hand-held electric mixer to incorporate ingredients).
• NOTE: Mixture will be quite dry.
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spray well with vegetable oil spray.
• Press/roll mixture into 1 inch balls by hand; place on cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
• Bake in 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper toweling.
• Serve warm with Versatile Mustard Dip (Recipe #150023).

SAUSAGE DIP

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until no longer pink; drain. Add the next 8 ingredients; cook until the vegetables are tender. Reduce heat to low; add cream cheese and sour cream. Cook and stir until cheese is melted and well blended (do not boil). Serve warm with tortilla chips.

BBQ PORK SAUSAGE BALLS WITH SAUCE AND DIP

GOLDEN SAUSAGE BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Combine all ingredients in a large glass bowl. Mix well with your fingers. The mixture will be very crumbly. Form into 1 inch balls, squeezing the mixture so it holds together, then rolling it between the palms of your hands to form balls.
• Place the balls on the baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. To prevent sticking, move the balls with a spatula halfway through cooking.
• To make the dip, combine the mayonnaise and mustard. Serve with sausage balls.
