CACFP: 3 balls = 1/2 meat (optional)
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
Turkey Sausage - 1/4 pound
Mozzarella Cheese - 3 ounces
Ground Red Pepper - 1/8 teaspoon
Soy Sauce - 1/2 teaspoon
Biscuit Mix - 1/2 cup
Milk - 3 Tablespoons
Cooking Spray
Directions:
1. Brown the sausage, drain off fat, and crumble sausage.
2. Shred cheese.
3. Mix cheese and remaining ingredients together well, forming a soft dough. (Red pepper adds an interesting, spicy flavor to this recipe without being "hot.")
4. Add crumbled sausage and mix well.
5. Using wet hands, form mixture into one-inch balls and place on pans greased with cooking spray.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Note: Cooked Sausage Balls freeze well. To serve, let balls thaw and then warm in 350 degree oven for 5 minutes. If frozen, warm for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
