Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef sausage (halal, spicy preferred)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup biscuit mix (baking mix)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and cream cheese until evenly mixed.
- Add biscuit mix, garlic powder, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper.
- Mix until a thick dough forms; add milk gradually if mixture is too dry.
- Shape into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Add milk gradually to avoid overly wet mixture.
- Use pepper jack cheese or jalapeños for extra spice.
- Swap sausage with chicken or turkey for a leaner option.
- Do not overmix to maintain tender texture.
- Best served warm for optimal flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in refrigerator up to 3 days.
- Reheat in oven to retain crispiness; avoid microwaving if possible.
- Freeze cooked or uncooked balls up to 2 months.
