Photo: Tomato Tarts Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk sausage (hot, sweet, or breakfast sausage), crumbled
- 3 cups baking mix (recommended: Bisquick)
- 2 cups (1/2 pound) grated Cheddar
- 24 grape tomatoes, halved
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine the sausage, baking mix, and cheese. Mix very well with your hands, or in a food processor, until the meat and cheese are evenly distributed (the mixture will seem dry). Roll and press the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Transfer the sausage balls to a baking sheet and flatten each one with the palm of your hand. Make a small indentation in each patty with your thumb and nestle a tomato half, cut side up, in the indentation.
Bake until the meat is cooked through, 15 to 25 minutes. Broil for 3 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

I tweeked this recipe so that it tastes as good as it looks. I was excited to try this recipe bc it looks easy & yummy but it was too dry, so here is what i did:
12 oz of ground pork (archer farms,Target
1 1/2 c. bisquick
1 1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar
2 tbs good olive oil
1/2 c. shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp of thyme, 1/2 tsp crushed rosemary, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
Mix all together well with hands, form med- size meatballs, press onto parchment paper on baking sheet
For topping: halve the cherry tomatos and then with pairing knife, make 6 slits around circumference of each and slightly flatten them, press into center of sausage balls, so they are about 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide and about 1/2 thick. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese, fresh ground pepper and panko bread crumbs for a little crunch. Bake until done, about 25 min at 350. Hope this helps.

utterly dissapointing. I saved this recipe on my TV for two weeks then finally got around to making it. They weren't inedible, but they were far from as delicious as it looked and Paula and Jamie made it sound. I love Paula Deen, but this is a big two thumbs down.

After reading the other reviews which were universally negative, I decided to make some changes. All the reviews said these were too biscuit-y and dry. I cut way back on the biscuit mix and added some olive oil to moisten the ingredients. I also added some fresh thyme to boost the flavor. I used hot Italian sausage for added spice and heat. The result was a tasty treat, but don't think I'd make it again.
