(Courtesy of thecountrycook.net)

Ingredients:
1 lb. hot sausage, uncooked
1 block (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 c. Bisquick baking mix
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper.  

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together sausage and cream cheese.  You can also do this with your hands.  Add in the baking mix and stir until combined.  Fold in the cheese (you can be generous with the cheese measurement).  Stir until combined.

Scoop up meat mixture and form into 1 inch balls (you can use a cookie scoop).  Put them on the baking sheet.  Once they are all on the baking sheet, go back and roll them around in your hands to make them a bit more smooth on the outside.

Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Once they are chilled, bake for about 25 minutes.  They should be firm to the touch and golden brown on the outside.

Note~ You can serve with honey mustard dipping sauce.
