Spicy Maple Sausage Balls with Mustard Dipping Sauce

Sausage Balls

1 pound spicy bulk breakfast sausage

3 cups baking mix (such as Bisquick)

2 cups freshly shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup maple syrup

 

Dipping Sauce

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

2 T. brown sugar

 

To make the sausage balls, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using your hands, mix together the sausage, baking mix, cheese, and maple syrup in a large bowl. Once the ingredients are well combined, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, and place them on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake the sausage balls for 26 to 28 minutes, until they are slightly golden. To make the dipping sauce, mix together the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar. Serve with the sausage balls.
