Sausage Cheese Balls

These sausage balls were a hit at our Christmas party this year. I accidentaly used low-fat cheese in the recipe and couldn’t tell the difference. No frying necessary, they bake beautifully.

Original recipe makes 6 dozen

2 pounds pork sausage
1 1/2 cups buttermilk baking mix
16 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
