Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls
With just 4 ingredients, these Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls are the perfect appetizer for a brunch or gameday snack! Baked in the oven to a crispy, golden brown perfection and loaded with flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb hot breakfast sausage uncooked
- 11.36 oz Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix
- 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
Instructions
- Add all 4 ingredients (including the biscuit seasoning pack) to a large mixing bowl. With your hands, knead this mixture into a dough.
- Using your hands, roll the sausage ball dough mixture into 1" balls. Place .5-1" apart on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake sausage balls at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes, until sausage balls are golden brown on the outside and sizzling.
Notes
- If you're not a fan of kneading the dough with your hands, you can blend the ingredients using a dough hook on a stand mixer. However, you're going to get your hands dirty when you roll the sausage balls anyway - might as well blend the ingredients by hand too!
- This is a great prep-ahead recipe. Just roll the sausage balls and place them on a baking sheet, cover them loosely with paper towels, and store them in the refrigerator overnight. When you're ready to cook them in the morning, just pop them in the oven!
- Make sure your baking pan is lined before adding the uncooked sausage balls. They will stick! I prefer to use silicone baking mats, but you can also use parchment paper or even aluminum foil.
- These sausage balls freeze wonderfully. Bake as directed and place them in a gallon-sized freezer bag. Store them in the freezer for up to 6 months after baking.
- I recommend storing your sausage balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can put a couple of paper towels at the bottom of our storage container to absorb any extra grease. Store for up to 4 days after baking.
