World's Tastiest Sausage Balls
I have always loved sausage balls. What's not to love? Biscuit? Good! Sausage? Good! Cheese? Good! Put them together and you've got one tasty little finger food. But Sunday afternoon as I was whipping up a batch, I took a lesson from Remy (you know, the rat from Ratatouille) and started getting fancy with the spices. What I came up with was nothing other than the best sausage ball I've ever eaten.
I wasn't writing it down, so I hope I can remember what went in there!
Let's see...
I know that I used:
2 cups flour
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoon shortening
Mix with a fork/pastry blender/your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. (It's just a homemade substitute for Bisquick, but produces a lighter, fluffier sausage ball)
Then I added:
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoons dried onions
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon powdered chicken bouillon
Mixed together well. Then I used my hands to work in:
1 lb sausage
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated, not the sprinkly stuff)
Formed into walnut sized balls and baked at 350 for approximately 15 minutes (until lightly browned).

That does sound good. I'll have to try them. I have all of the ingredients but the meat and the shortening. =)
