These Spicy Sausage Cheese Bites are a delightful appetizer or snack, perfect for gatherings or a cozy evening treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the spicy sausage, biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely chopped jalapeño.
Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon each.
Use slightly damp hands to prevent sticking while rolling.
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully turn each ball over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Turning the balls halfway through ensures even browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Allowing them to cool slightly helps the flavors settle and prevents burns.
