Description
Delicious sausage balls made with Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix for a perfect party snack.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp (14g) unsalted butter, softened
- 11.36 oz (320g) Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix with garlic and herb seasoning blend
- 8 oz (227g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 lb (454g) bulk sausage
- 2 tsp (5g) dried chives
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: Start by mixing the sausage, biscuit mix, and cheese together in a bowl until well combined. The mixture will be dense and should smell amazing. Do not overwork it; a tender texture is desired.
- Scoop & Form Balls: Scoop out the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls with your hands. The balls should feel firm and slightly warm. Keep them uniform in size. If they are too sticky, dust your hands with a little biscuit mix.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. This step ensures a crispy outer layer while keeping the inside flavorful.
- Place in the Pan: Arrange the formed balls on a greased baking dish or lined pan, leaving a bit of space between each one for proper heat circulation.
- Bake & Check for Doneness: Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. They may seem soft when you check, but allow them to rest, as they will firm up.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze for up to one month.
- Expert Tips: Using a stand mixer makes blending easier. Line the bake sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. A cookie scoop ensures uniform balls for even cooking. You can prepare the dough a day in advance and bake fresh just before serving.
- Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Pair with fresh salad for a complete brunch spread. They are great finger foods at parties or potlucks.
- Recipe Variations: Add chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick, or incorporate crumbled bacon for extra flavor. Use a different cheese, such as pepper jack, for a twist.
- Ingredient Notes: Opt for freshly shredded cheese for better melting. If Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix is not available, a homemade biscuit mix can suffice. Choose a bulk sausage flavor to suit your preference. Blended herbs can also work in place of dried chives.

Ingredient Notes
- Unsalted butter: A little bit of softened butter adds richness to the mix. Just make sure it’s softened enough for easy blending. You could use margarine if you’re short on butter.
- Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix: This is the star of the show! It packs in that iconic flavor. If you can’t find it, a homemade biscuit mix could work in a pinch.
- Shredded sharp cheddar cheese: This brings the cheesy goodness to the sausage balls. Opt for freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting. A mild cheddar could serve as a substitute if you prefer.
- Bulk sausage: You want a tasty sausage that adds a savory kick. Choose a flavor that fits your mood, spicy, mild, or something in between! Ground turkey could be a lighter option if you’re looking to swap it out.
- Dried chives: These give a lovely herbal note. They’re easy to find dried, but fresh chives would be a nice upgrade if you have them on hand. Blended herbs could also work in a pinch.
Recipe Tips
- If the dough feels too sticky, adding a little more biscuit mix can help achieve a better consistency for shaping.
- For preventing dryness, keeping an instant-read thermometer handy can ensure the sausage balls are perfectly baked without overdoing it.
- When forming the balls, a cookie scoop can deliver consistent sizes, helping them cook evenly and maintain a nice texture.
- If you’re prepping in advance, consider making the dough ahead of time and baking them just before serving for fresh flavors.
- When baking, lining your sheet with parchment paper simplifies cleanup and prevents sticking, making serving a breeze.
Serving Suggestions

Add a drizzle of ranch dressing for an extra layer of flavor. A sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs enhances the overall appeal of the dish.
Recipe variations
- You can use ground turkey or chicken as a leaner alternative to bulk sausage in your sausage balls.
- Add 1 cup of chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick that complements the cheesy flavors of the biscuit mix.
