Jimmy Dean Sausage Balls

For Christmas a few years back we started doing appetizers and finger foods because everyone was sick of spending the entire evening in the kitchen cooking and cleaning. This recipe was one my grandma used, I'm not sure where exactly she got it, but it's great!

On the sausage, it doesn't really matter what kind you use. For this particular batch, I used 1 lb of hot, and 1 lb of sage because I didn't think everyone would enjoy spicy sausage balls :)

2 lbs Jimmy Dean's sausage, uncooked
1-1/2 cups all purpose baking/biscuit mix
16 oz sharp cheddar cheese (4 cups shredded)
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients together.
• Form in to 1" balls and place on cookie sheets (ungreased).
• Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
