Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Combine sausage, cheese, baking mix, onion, celery, garlic, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl; stir well until combined. Form into balls about 1-inch in diameter; place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before serving with cocktail forks or toothpicks.
To Cook From Frozen:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); allow frozen sausage balls to thaw on a baking sheet while the oven preheats. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
Variation:
For a firmer texture, add 3 cups baking mix and 2 cups shredded cheese.
