Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fresh jalapeño peppers finely chopped
  • 2 cups baking mix Bisquick recommended
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 lb spicy breakfast sausage

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine sausage, baking mix, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and chopped jalapeños. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time if mixture is too dry.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1 to 1.5-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F or 18–20 minutes at 400°F until golden and cooked through.
  5. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Soften cream cheese fully to avoid lumps. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet for even browning. Adjust jalapeño seeds based on desired spice level.
