Recipe Source: mom

Ingredients:

1 (10-oz) package Cheddar cheese
1 lb. hot bulk sausage
2 1/2 cup Bisquick

Directions:

Shread cheese in large glass mixing bowl. Add hunks of sausage into bowl and heat briefly in microwave–just until the mixture warms, maybe thirty seconds. Return to counter and gradually cut in bisquick, mixing well with your hands as if you’re kneading bread. (The heat from the microwave is a neat trick to help mix the ingredients.)

Form into small balls, about the size of a walnut; place on cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. May be frozen before baking.

Serve by themselves or with your favorite dipping sauces. (my fav is mustard!)
