GF Spicy Sausage Balls with Chipotle Sauce

Okay I know I need to work on the name of these but hey... it's kind of funny: Sausage Balls! But seriously these things are delicious and addictive. The Boyfriend almost hurt himself eating so many of these. This recipe makes a lot of them but it's easily halved. I just like to make a bunch at one time and have the rest for leftovers, they reheat great! 

Spicy Sausage Balls with Chipotle Sauce Ingredients

Yeah... you really have to get in there with your hands to mix it up!

Right before they hit the oven!

This is what happens when you have way too much free time on your hands!

Om nom nom!

These are kind of spicy! So if you want to tone it down then leave out the jalapenos and reduce the amount of chipotle peppers! But I like it spicy! This recipe makes 60 balls! 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound hot Italian sausage
• 8 oz of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 1/2 cups of Bisquick Gluten Free baking mix
• 2 whole eggs
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 tsp of cayenne pepper
• 2-4 diced jalapenos 
• 2-5 shakes of Tabasco Chipotle
• 3/4 cup light mayonaise 
• 4 whole chipotle peppers (from a can)
• 1-2 tsp Adobo sauce (from the can)
• 2 tsp lime zest
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degree. 
2. Place the sausage, cheese, Bisquick, eggs, green onions, cilantro, jalapenos, Tabasco Chipotle sauce, and cayenne pepper into a large bowl. 
3. Mix throughly with hands until fully combined. It will get messy!
4. Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1 inch balls. Arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Keep in mind that they do get a little bigger as they bake.
5. Put into the oven and bake for 20-24 minutes. 
6. Let cool for two minutes before taking off the sheet. 
7. For the dipping sauce: In a food processor combine the mayonnaise, 3 chipotle peppers, the adobo sauce, the lime zest, and the lime juice. Blend until fully combines and smooth. 
8. Serve sausage balls with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
