People are always surprised when I tell them there are only four ingredients in this easy sausage ball recipe. Cheesy and spicy, the golden morsels are a fun novelty at a breakfast or brunch, and they also make yummy party appetizers. —Della Moore, Troy, New York

Ingredients

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
3 cups biscuit/baking mix
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup water

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, breaking sausage into crumbles; drain.
In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix and cheese; stir in sausage. Add water and toss with a fork until moistened. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake until puffed and golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Test Kitchen Tips

Baked puffs may be frozen; reheat at 400° for 7-9 minutes or until heated through (they do not need to thaw first).
Serve with your favorite jam, jelly or flavored maple syrup.
