Main Ingredients
- 1 (11.36 oz) Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (including seasoning packet)
- 1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound uncooked sausage
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Biscuit Mix: In a large bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix including the seasoning packet, which provides the signature buttery garlic flavor.
- Mix Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese and mix it thoroughly until smooth and creamy, creating a base for the sausage mixture.
- Incorporate Sausage and Cheese: Add the uncooked sausage into the cream cheese and mix well to combine. Then add in the biscuit mix and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Form Sausage Balls: Portion the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the sausage balls are golden brown and the sausage is fully cooked through.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- You can use any type of sausage based on your preference – spicy, sweet, or savory.
- For even cooking, keep the sausage balls to about 1 inch in diameter.
- Serve warm for the best flavor, optionally with dipping sauces like ranch or marinara.
