Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix dry biscuit mix with packet of seasoning that comes with the mix, red chili flakes, and shredded cheese with wire whisk.
• 2. Using your hands, break up the pound of sausage into the mix, then add buttermilk. Incorporate all ingredients together, and again, I do this with my hands so not to over mix.
• 3. Drop 1 inch balls onto a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly brown, remove from oven and brush on melted butter. Return to oven for 3-5 minutes more, or until golden brown. Enjoy the best sausage balls you will ever bake!

CHEDDAR SAUSAGE BALLS

Steps:

• 1. Lightly spray a 9"x13" pan with cooking spray or butter lightly.
• 2. In a large bowl, use a fork to combine cream cheese with seasoned salt and beat until fluffy.
• 3. Add sausage and cheese and, using your hands, mix very well until the cream cheese is incorporated. (TIP: Use food safe plastic gloves to save your hands from a messy clean-up.)
• 4. Add biscuit mix and continue to mix well. (This is a stiff dough and it takes some time and patience. Don't be tempted to add any liquid or it will not turn out right.)
• 5. Place oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• 6. Take a medium pinch of the dough and roll into a ball about the size of a small walnut and place in prepared pan. Continue making balls until dough is gone.
• 7. Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• 8. Remove foil, rotate pan and bake for another 20 minutes.
• 9. Remove from oven and quickly remove sausage balls from fat in pan and place on paper towels.
• 10. Arrange on serving plate and serve hot or at room temperature.
• 11. Place any leftovers in an airtight refrigerator container, or zipper bag, and keep refrigerated. May be frozen and reheated.
