Notes
Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- Ground Sausage: Make sure you are buying ground sausage and not just ground pork!
- Cream Cheese: I prefer full fat but you could use reduced fat
- Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix: You’ll use everything that comes in the box including the seasoning packet. Look for the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix in the baking aisle at the grocery store. I usually find it next to the boxed pancake or biscuit mix. You may even be able to find this mix in a gluten free version.
- It may be a good idea to transfer the balls to some paper towels after baking to remove some extra grease before adding the seasoning on top.
- To give your balls a hint of spice, try using a spicy sausage. You could also throw some red pepper flakes into your mix or serve with a side of hot sauce.
- I like to use pork sausage for this recipe but you could use turkey, chicken or even mild Italian sausage just as easily.
- Many recipes for these Red Lobster cheddar Bay Sausage balls will call for even more cheese. Feel free to experiment by adding extra pre-shredded cheese into the mix.
