I was rather surprised to find that I haven't shared this recipe previously. It's one that I'm always asked for by our kids and grands, and Christmas isn't complete without it. It couldn't be easier. This is another recipe for which I reluctantly use a prepared food. I want to see if there's a product available that serves the same purpose as Bisquick, without the offensive ingredients. Jimmy Dean's sausage doesn't have nitrates or nitrites in it, and I think you can buy an organic version, too!
This recipe makes about 40 puffs that are slightly smaller than a golf ball.
Hot Sausage Puffs
3 cups Bisquick
1 pound Jimmy Dean's hot sausage
1/2 pound grated sharp cheddar cheese
Mis well and shape into small balls. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, and serve.
DONNA'S NOTES: You can make this recipe up in advance and freeze the balls until you're ready to serve them. I use the "normal" flavor of sausage and medium cheddar, because we don't like our food too hot. Suit yourself!!
