Lady Mel! Glad that you posted those.
I didn't like the "hard" ones that will break your teeth and taste too much like dough and no MEAT! LOL
Here is my recipe!
1 roll of Dean's mild Sausage (about 1 pound) or what ever flavor you like. (could use some of Pops Country Breakfast Sausage too)
1 cup of Bisquick or Pioneer Mix
2 cups of shredded cheese. (I use sharp cheddar and finely shredded)
Take your sausage and let it warm up a bit on the counter...makes it easier to mix. Get those hands in there. Pork Fat...is good for softening your skin....
! Add the Bisquick and start mixing that by hand. Once it's all together...add the cheese and mix well again. Just until its all combined.
I just use a regular spoon that you would stir coffee with and shape the sausage balls. Put them on a greased cookie sheet and cook at 325 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. They will get crunchy on the bottoms...but that is the best part.
Mine are similar to Lady Mel's!
Love me some Community Coffee....have some here at the shop in the classroom!
