#72 - Try 12 new recipes (and actually use the recipe). (8/12)

Someone on one of the LJ communities I follow posted a link to HillbillyHouseWife and I spent some time checking it out. This specific recipe caught my eye:

When the butcher at Karns has loose sausage on sale, I always hesitate because the only thing I end up doing with it is browning it and throwing it in spaghetti sauce. This recipe seemed like a great way to put some of it to good use. (and they are awesomely yummy)

Sausage Cheese Balls

* 1-1/2 cups Biscuit Mix (Bisquick)
* 1 pound bulk turkey sausage
* 3 or 4 cups of shredded cheese

Get out a big bowl. Measure the Biscuit Mix and cheese into the bowl. Add the raw sausage. Use your hands to mix everything together like meatloaf.

It is sort of gooey, but the finished product is worth a little goo. Shape the mixture into small balls the size of walnuts or egg yolks. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350° for 25 minutes.

Remove them from the oven and drain them on paper towels. These are best when they are still warm, but are still rather tasty cold. Makes about 75.
