Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cream Cheese Sausage Bites.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), creating the perfect environment for your delicious sausage balls.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the bulk pork sausage, baking mix, softened cream cheese, and shredded sharp Cheddar cheese.
Step 3
This is where the magic begins! Using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, blend the ingredients on low speed for about 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring everything is well mixed and ready to shine.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to get your hands a little messy—roll the mixture into delightful 1-inch balls and arrange them on a rimmed baking stone or a baking sheet.
Step 5
As you place them, imagine the savory aroma that will soon fill your kitchen! Pop the tray into your preheated oven and let them bake for 22 to 25 minutes.
Step 6
Keep an eye on them; you want those sausage balls to turn a lovely golden brown and be cooked through.
Step 7
To check for doneness, use an instant-read thermometer—when it reads 160°F (70°C) in the center, they’re ready to come out.
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful flavors and the smiles they bring to your table!.
