Mom's Famous Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

Ingredients:

• 1 lb uncooked sausage
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• 1 1/4 cups Bisquick
• 4oz. of shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation:
  

First, you have to pre-heat your oven to four-hundred degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is pre-heating, you mix one pound of any type of sausage you like with eight ounces of softened cream cheese, one and one-fourth cups of Bisquick, and four ounces of shredded cheddar cheese.

            Mom and I always mix the ingredients together. We could hear the sounds of a football game going on and the faint sounds of my dad hollering, "Go baby go! We got this!" My mother and I laughed our heads off because we thought he was going to bust through the T.V.

   After, you mix the ingredients, roll the ingredients into one-inch balls.

            While were laughing, Mom would always say,"Make sure they are perfectly round."

     I would always reply with the rolling of my eyes and saying," Don't nothin' have to be perfect, it's all just gonna get chewed up and messed up anyways!"

Before completing the the rounding of the sausage balls, and grease a cookie sheet so you can place them evenly spread apart.
 
     Mom would always have me grease the cookie sheet with Crisco. I would always say, "It feels like spoiled milk." I was like ten when I said this, mind you.


After you grease the cookie sheet, place the sausage balls onto the cookie sheet and bake them in the oven for about twenty to twenty-five minutes or until golden brown.

        While we were waiting for the sausage balls to bake we would clean up our kitchen that looked like it got destroyed by a tornado.

  After the sausage balls are golden brown. take them out of the oven and let them cool before eating.

   Sometimes, before the sausage balls would finish cooling, My mother and I would catch my dad trying to devour them all. My mom and I always had to swat my dad off.

        I reflect on these memories, every sizzling sound of the sausage balls baking in the oven, or even the "hoots" and "hollers" from my dad in the background, it makes me feel happier than a kid with a new toy reminiscing on these memories. I just love spending time with my family and making these memories.

   After the sausage balls are done cooling, eat and enjoy!

          By the time mom and I would even get a chance to sit down and eat them, my dad had them all gone.
