Description

Irresistible bite-sized appetizers combining savory beef sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and signature garlic butter flavors inspired by Red Lobster’s famous biscuits. Perfect for parties, game days, and holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef sausage
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups baking mix (Bisquick)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine baking mix, garlic powder, parsley flakes, onion powder, and Old Bay seasoning.
  3. 3. Add the ground beef sausage and shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients.
  4. 4. Mix thoroughly with your hands until everything is evenly distributed and forms a cohesive dough.
  5. 5. Using a small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into one-inch balls and roll smooth between your palms.
  6. 6. Arrange the balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about one inch apart.
  7. 7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8. 8. Remove from oven and immediately brush with melted butter.
  9. 9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Store leftover sausage balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, arrange unbaked balls on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to freezer bags for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to cooking time. Serve with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or garlic aioli for dipping.
