Red Lobster Sausage Balls
These Red Lobster sausage balls are made with Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, giving them that signature buttery, garlicky flavor you love - just in an easy, bite-sized appetizer that only has 4 ingredients (including cream cheese & cheddar cheese) and is ready in no time!
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
- Prep-Ahead: You can roll these up 24 hours in advance! Cover your baking sheet with paper towels and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake.
- Fixing Crumbly Dough: If your mixture feels too dry or crumbly while kneading, add 1 tablespoon of milk or water at a time until the dough holds together easily.
- Uniform Sizing: Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Consistent sizing is key to ensuring all your sausage balls bake at the same rate.
- The Cheese Rule: For the best melt and smoothest texture, grate your sharp cheddar from a block. Pre-shredded bags contain anti-caking agents that prevent the cheese from melting into that signature gooey center.
- Freezing: Once baked and cooled, these store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or reheat directly from frozen in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
