Ingredients

2 16 ounce rolls pork sausage such as Jimmy Dean
1 1/2 cups all purpose baking mix such as Bisquick
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup onion finely grated
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray.
Place the sausage, baking mix, cheese, onion, garlic, milk and black pepper in a bowl; stir until thoroughly combined. A stand mixers works great for this!
Roll the meat mixture into 1 inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until browned. Sprinkle with parsley then serve immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

I use rolls of bulk pork sausage such as Jimmy Dean. This sausage is readily available in the breakfast meat area of most grocery stores.
Use a measuring spoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the sausage mixture so that all of the balls are the same size and cook at the same rate.
Skip the bags of pre-shredded cheese at the store and grate your own cheddar. The store bought shredded cheese is often coated with anti caking agents and preservatives and does not melt smoothly.
