Sausage Balls

📝 Ingredients:

• 1 lb breakfast sausage
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 ½ cups baking mix (like Bisquick)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp garlic powder

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine sausage, cheddar, baking mix, Parmesan, and garlic powder until fully mixed.
3. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. If baking now: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

✨ Freezer Meal Prep Tip:

1. Follow the recipe up to step 3 (before baking).
2. Place the raw sausage balls on a baking sheet — not touching — and freeze for 2–3 hours.
3. Transfer frozen balls to a freezer-safe bag or container (label with date).
4. To cook from frozen: Bake as usual at 375°F — add 5–8 extra minutes to the cook time.

💡 Bonus Tips: These make a great protein-packed breakfast, snack, or party appetizer. Pair with honey mustard or ranch for dipping!
