SAUSAGE BALLS

     SAUSAGE-BALLS - A spicy snack to be eaten with cocktail
     sauce

     I got this from my sister who got it from my mother. My
     mother has been cooking it for a long time.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 10-12 as appetizer)
     1 lb      bulk hot sausage
     3 cups    biscuit mix (e.g. "Bisquick")
     1 lb      sharp cheddar cheese, grated

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat the oven to 375 deg. F.  Grate the cheese.

          (2)  Combine all the ingredients and knead until well
               mixed.  You may need to add a little beef broth to
               get it to stick together.

          (3)  Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie
               sheet or broiler pan.

          (4)  Bake at 375 deg. F for 25 minutes.

NOTES
     Don't put too many on a cookie sheet or the grease will fill
     it up and run off into your oven.  These should be served
     with cocktail sauce. They are very rich.  They can be made
     ahead and frozen until your party, then warmed before serv-
     ing.

     Cooks outside North America should remember that a biscuit
     is a scone.  If you don't have any biscuit mix, you can make
     some by cutting together 2 1/2 cups of flour, 4 tsp of bak-
     ing powder, and 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening or butter.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 15 minutes preperation, 30 minutes
     cooking and cooling.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
