Sausage and cheddar Meatball Appetizer (baked)

I decided on a individual appetizer plate for each guest for a dinner party I had last weekend. We watched the play off game with our appetizer plates, then moved to the dining room for dinner. I prepared Beef Bourguignon for the main with creamy mashed potatoes, crusty sour dough bread and a side salad. My guests raved about the entire meal! 

 

 Sausage and Cheddar Meatball Appetizer

 

1/2 lb sage or regular pork sausage 

1/2 lb hot pork sausage 

6 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese

3/4 cup Bisquick

1/3 cup shallots, chopped finely (can use a mild onion)

1 T. parsley, chopped finely

olive oil

 

Preheat oven to 375 F degrees

Use a silpat, or parchment paper or line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with oil.

 

 

In a medium bowl, put the sausages, cheddar cheese, Bisquick, shallots and parsley.

Mix together thoroughly. (I used my hands)

Using a tablespoon form balls and placed on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Internal temperature should be 160 F.

 

 

Serve with delicious Blue Cheese Dip

 

I served with carrots, red pepper, celery sticks. I also included Buffalo Cauliflower and Bacon wrapped Brussel Sprouts. I will be posting these recipes this week!

 

We are off early AM! Four relaxing weeks!
