  • 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.
