- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 (11 ounce) container pimento or palmetto cheese
- 1 (11.36 ounce) box Red Lobster biscuit mix with seasoning packet
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to keep everything from sticking.
In a mixing bowl (or with a stand mixer if you have one), mix the sausage, baking mix, and cheese until it’s all combined and looks even.
Scoop out about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time, roll it into a ball, and place it on the baking sheet. Make sure to leave about an inch of space between each ball.
Pop the tray in the oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the sausage balls are nice and golden brown.
Once they are done, take them out and transfer them to a wire rack to cool down a bit.
They taste best when served right away, so dig in!
