Pumpkin Sausage Balls

Pumpkin Sausage Balls

This is a fun recipe as you can adapt it in so many different ways.  The last time I made it I used sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin.  You can also vary the amount of heat and the amount of cheese that is used.

1.5 Cups Bisquick Mix
1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 Cup Cooked and Mashed Pumpkin (either fresh or canned)
1.5 Pounds of Fresh Pork Sausage (I prefer the sausage from Lowes Foods)
1 Tablespoon Chipotle’ Chili Pepper (feel free to vary the heat as much as you like)

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking pan with parchment paper (this helps to soak up some of the grease from the sausage).

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well blended.  I usually like to put the Bisquick Mix and Shredded Cheddar in first and mix the cheese around – the Bisquick will coat the cheese and help it to distribute through the mix much better.

With moist hands form 1 inch balls (I use a 1 inch scoop) and place on baking sheet with room between.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly brown on tops and deeper brown on bottoms.

This recipe will make about 50 1 inch  Pumpkin Sausage Balls.

Enjoy!
