| SAUSAGE BALLS |
A spicy snack to be eaten with cocktail sauce |
| INGREDIENTS (Serves 10–12 as appetizer) |
| 1 lb bulk hot sausage 3 cups biscuit mix (e.g. "Bisquick") 1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated |
| PROCEDURE (1) Preheat the oven to 375º F. Grate the cheese. (2) Combine all the ingredients and knead until well mixed. You may need to add a little beef broth to get it to stick together. (3) Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet or broiler pan. (4) Bake at 375º F for 25 minutes. |
| NOTES Don't put too many on a cookie sheet or the grease will fill it up and run off into your oven. These should be served with cocktail sauce. They are very rich. They can be made ahead and frozen until your party, then warmed before serving. Cooks outside North America should remember that a biscuit is a scone. If you don't have any biscuit mix, you can make some by cutting together 2½ cups of flour, 4 tsp of baking powder, and ½ cup of vegetable shortening or butter. |
| RATING Difficulty: easy. Time: 15 minutes preperation, 30 minutes cooking and cooling. Precision: approximate measurement OK. |
