Easy Homemade Vegetarian Sausage Balls

🧂 Ingredients

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• 4 Tbsp vegetable shortening
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp fine salt
• homemade baking mix (recipe above)

  = ~2.5 cups
• 14 to 16 ounces ground vegan sausage

  (such as Lightlife Gimme Lean)
• 12 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded

  = 3 cups

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Set aside 2 large baking sheets.
• 2 In a food processor, combine flour with shortening, baking powder, and salt.
  Process on low speed until evenly mixed, about 20 seconds.
• 3 Add baking mix, vegan sausage, and cheddar to a large bowl. Combine by hand
  until well blended and mixture starts to clump.
• 4 Take a small amount of sausage mixture and roll between hands to form small
  balls, 3/4 to 1 inch diameter. Place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart (they
  will not spread much).
• 5 Bake on 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown, cheese is melted, and
  sausage is cooked through.
• 6 Enjoy fresh, or let cool before storing in an airtight container in the fridge
  for up to 5 days.
