3-Ingredient Sausage Balls

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw sausage, baking mix, and shredded cheese.
Mix Thoroughly: Using your hands or a heavy-duty stand mixer, blend the ingredients until fully incorporated. The mixture may seem dry at first, but keep working it until it comes together into a uniform dough.
Roll the Balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it into a ball (roughly 1 inch in diameter). Place them on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart.
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes on the pan before serving warm.

Room Temperature Meat: Let the sausage sit out for about 10–15 minutes before mixing; it makes it much easier to incorporate the dry baking mix.
Don't Overbake: Keep an eye on the oven around the 20-minute mark. Overbaking can lead to dry sausage balls.
Make-Ahead: You can roll these out a day in advance and keep them in the fridge, or even freeze them raw to bake later!
