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.

    These did not taste as good as they looked. They were very dry, so I added a little milk which of course make them more like biscuits with sausage in them. It's not worth working with the recipe to make it better. Save your sausage for something else.

    These looked so good on tv, but not when I made them. Very disappointing. I found that I could only get just under 2 cups of Bisquick into just over a pound of sausage. The mixture was dry as the recipe said, but, it was even drier when cooked. It had a bisquity, crumbling consistancy with a hint of sausage; the mixture cooked and expanded, pushing the tomato out with several landing on the baking sheet. I did broil them, 1/3 topped with shredded cheese, 1/3 with parmesan and 1/3 as is...none very flavorful. The most successful, (if you can call it that, were the ones that I experimented with stuffing the whole thing in a mushroom cap. These had moisture and the additional mushroom flavor.

    Bisquick is overpowering it was like a biscuit with a little sausage flavor I would cut the bisquick in half and do 1 1/2 cups and loose the tomato it really didnt add anything to the dish.
