Sausage and Cheese Bites with Creamy Dip
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups baking mix
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Dip Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
Instructions
- Warm the culinary workspace by heating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly coat a baking tray with non-stick spray to prevent unwanted adhesion.
- In a generously sized mixing vessel, combine ground sausage, baking mix, shredded cheese, and freshly cracked black pepper. Use fingertips to thoroughly integrate the ingredients, ensuring an even distribution of flavors and textures.
- Craft bite-sized spheres approximately one inch in diameter from the blended mixture. Arrange these morsels on the prepared baking surface, maintaining adequate spacing to promote uniform cooking.
- Transfer the tray to the heated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking duration, gently rotate each morsel to guarantee consistent golden-brown exterior and complete internal cooking.
- During the baking process, construct the accompanying creamy accompaniment by whisking mayonnaise and mustard in a separate container until the mixture achieves a smooth, harmonious consistency.
- Remove the sausage and cheese bites from the oven once they reach a perfect golden hue and appetizing appearance. Present the warm morsels alongside the prepared dipping sauce, inviting guests to indulge in this savory treat.
