…perfect for Christmas morning

Are you looking for a quick snack to keep the kids tied over before Christmas lunch? Here’s a quick recipe that microwaves super well and can be made in advance!

Equipment

• Mixing bowl

• Cookie scoop

• Measuring cups

• Cookie sheet

For the Sausage Balls

• 1 and 1/4 cups all purpose flour

• 1 lbs of sausage (can be italian, breakfast, turkey, or ground pork sausage)

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp dried parsley

• 1/2 tsp herbs de province (can be omitted)

• 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

• 4 oz softened cream cheese

• 1/4 cup buttermilk (or milk)

Perfect for any Christmas Party or game day appetizer

• Preheat your oven to 400F

• Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix together until well combined. I typically use my hands, but you can use a spoon or your stand mixer

• Once fully combined, take a cookie scoop and scoop out your balls on to a lined cookie sheet

• These won’t spread much so don’t worry about them being too close together

• Place in your 400F for about 20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and your pork is thoroughly cooked through

• Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy

• Enjoy!
