Description

Ingredients
- 1 (11.36 oz / 322 g) package Cheddar Bay–style biscuit mix, including the seasoning packet
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1¼ cups (about 5 oz / 140 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 lb (454 g) uncooked halal sausage, breakfast-style or mildly spicy
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, add the biscuit mix and seasoning packet, uncooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix until everything is fully combined and a thick dough forms.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a small scoop.
- Place the balls evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use extra-sharp cheddar for more pronounced flavor.
- Mix in garlic or onion powder for added depth.
- Spicy sausage adds heat, while mild sausage offers classic flavor.
- To keep them crispy, reheat in the oven instead of the microwave.
- Make ahead and refrigerate or freeze for easy prep later.
