- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons milk
- Garlic Aioli optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F.
- In a large bowl, combine the cheese, sausage, baking mix, green onions, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

- Using clean hands, form the sausage mixture into walnut size balls and arrange on a baking sheet.

Notes
Do not use preshredded cheese. You need the moisture from a freshly shredded block of cheese or your sausage balls will be dry and crumbly.
For a more spicy ball, substitute the sausage with a hot sausage or pepper jack cheese.
