  • Author: Samantha Jones
  • Total Time: 35
  • Yield: 12 pieces 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian (with plant-based sausage option)

Description

Crispy, handheld appetizers made with halal ground sausage, cheddar cheese, and garlic. The golden, crackly exterior gives way to a tender, savory core perfect for gatherings or quick snacks.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lbs (450g) Halal Ground Sausage
1 ½ cups (180g) Bisquick
½ cup (50g) Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp (5g) Garlic Powder
¼ cup (60ml) Milk


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine ground sausage, Bisquick, garlic powder, and cheddar cheese. Add milk and mix until just combined.
Grab golf-ball-sized portions (about 2 tbsp). Flatten slightly and place a pea-sized cheese piece in the center before sealing. Roll into even balls (1.5–2 inches in diameter).
Place balls 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Bake 18–20 minutes, rotating halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

Notes

Use plant-based sausage for vegan option
Replace Bisquick with 1 cup cornmeal + ½ cup flour mix
Use non-dairy milk for lactose-free
Chill ingredients beforehand for better texture
Avoid flipping during baking
