Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls are a savory, cheesy appetizer inspired by the famous Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits. Made with sausage, cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and biscuit mix, these bite-sized balls are baked until golden and perfect for parties, snacks, or game day treats.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Balls:

  • 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
  • 1 lb Jimmy Dean pork sausage
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pork sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix. Add the milk and melted butter, then mix everything together until a uniform dough is formed.
  3. Form Balls: Using a spoon or scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the sausage balls to cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally, serve with your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

  • The sausage used is pork, but you can substitute with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to blend easily with the other ingredients.
  • You can freeze uncooked sausage balls and bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
  • Serve with ranch dressing, marinara, or a spicy mustard as dipping sauces.
  • For extra crispiness, you can bake them on a wire rack placed on the baking sheet.
