Sausage Cheese Balls
A very flavorful sausage and cheese appetizer (think: parties, holidays, and the super bowl!). It's an AMAZING breakfast side dish too!
Servings: 12 cheese balls
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowl
- Tablespoon (for measuring)
Ingredients
- 1 pound tube of ground sausage
- 1½-2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°

For 24 mini sausage balls
