Gluten Free Sausage Balls

I have had a lot of interest in my gluten-free sausage balls.  My family asks for these regularly and they never stick around long.  Simple to make, they are an easy appetizer if you are eating gluten-free or know someone who is.

Ingredients, pre-mixing

What you'll need:
1 1/4 cups gluten free Bisquik
1 8oz package of cream cheese (room temp--or, because I am impatient, I just zap mine in the microwave for 30-45 seconds)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 lb hot sausage, uncooked (check your ingredients to ensure you have a gluten free sausage--I prefer Jimmy Dean)

While gathering your ingredients, preheat oven to 400F.

Mix all of your ingredients together in one bowl.  Forget utensils, they don't work.  Use your hands!!  I keep a box of latex gloves in the house specifically for the purpose of making sausage balls. A pair of gloves will prevent getting all the soon-to-be-yumminess under your fingernails (yuck!).

I was out of gloves this day, a plastic baggy was a compromise. 

After all of your ingredients are thoroughly blended, roll the mixture into balls (about silver-dollar size).  My mother's are usually perfectly rounded.  Again, since I am impatient, mine usually look more like amoebas and less like balls, but are tasty none-the-less!

Finished product!

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400F.  I check the bottom of the sausage balls for a nice brown color to know they are done.  After cooking, remove sausage balls with a spatula and place on paper towel lined plate or bowl.  Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!!  I guarantee these will go quickly!
