Sausage Balls - Recipe

We have made this Sausage Balls Recipe for years, finally saving it here so I can easily look it up. I usually double it making 70 - 80 balls depending if you are consistently making them each 0.8 or 0.9 ounces for each one (yes, I weigh them).
Ingredients: 1 pound ground pork sausage
2 cups biscuit baking mix
1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (use a block of cheese, do not use pre-shredded, has a drying agent mixed in).
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine sausage, biscuit baking mix and cheese. Mix with your hands until all is combined to a meaty mixture and all baking mix is incorporated.
Form into walnut size balls and place on baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and sausage is cooked through. Use 20 minutes for 0.8/0.9 oz. balls.
Cook's note: Pre-cooked sausage balls may be frozen and then reheated at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
