Spicy Sausage Balls

Warm, cheesy, savory with a jalapeno kick, Spicy Sausage Balls are one of our favorite holiday treats. Prep time is minimal and you can have them mixed, baked and ready to go in about 20 minutes! Here's what you need:

3 cups Bisquick
1 lb. HOT sausage ( I prefer Jimmy Dean)
3-4 TBSP Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup purple onion, diced
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno, diced
red pepper powder to taste

Simply mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. I use my Kitchen Aid mixer. Then shape into balls and bake in a 400 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.

If you are taking them to a party, you can keep them warm in a crock pot set on the warm or low setting.

If you are not a Spicy Sausage Ball fan, and just want regular but delicious Cheesy Sausage Balls, simply omit the last 3 ingredients and use regular sausage instead of hot.

I have been known to throw in a dash of garlic and/or chili powder for extra flavor. These sausage balls disappear quickly and get tons of raves! Enjoy!
