1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

4Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

9Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.

Tips: For spicier sausage balls, use hot breakfast sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can also substitute the cheddar cheese with pepper jack for extra heat. These can be frozen after baking and reheated in the oven or microwave.
