Sausage Balls

Makes 50-60

1 lb ground sausage
2 3/4 cups baking mix
4 cups shredded sharp cheddar
Dash pepper
Dip:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons mustard

Directions:

Preheat oven 375

In large bowl, combine baking mix, raw sausage, shredded sharp cheddar (freshly shredded works best!) and pepper until well blended and dough is formed. Shape into 1" balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Mix mayo and mustard together in a small bowl and serve as dip with the sausage balls. 



This is one of my favorite appetizers for any occasion! We absolutely always have them on New Year's Eve, as long as I can remember, even as a little girl, my mom would make these for that holiday. I also make them for parties, football games, or even afternoon snacks for the kids and I since they love them as much as I do. So easy to make and amazing with the dip as well, don't leave it out, even if you don't like mustard, you can definitely add less mustard if you like it less "mustardy" but this is the perfect balance for us and it's just delish.
