FIRE BALLS
• 12 ounces Jalapeno peppers, canned
• 1 cup Buttermilk baking mix
• 6 ounces Mozzarella cheese – shredded
• 1 pound Sausage
• 6 ounces * Seasoned bread crumbs
- Use a spicy breading mix made for pork or for less spicy dish use unseasoned fine dry bread crumbs. A mixture of pork breading crumbs and plain crumbs is good to use.
- Cut off stem ends from the peppers.
- Stuff peppers lightly with cheese, then set aside.
- Thoroughly mix sausage, biscuit mix, and remaining cheese. Make small patties from the mixture. Place a pepper in the center of each patty, then wrap and seal the dough around the pepper. Coat one or two balls at a time by shaking them in a plastic bag with the pork breading mix or seasoning of your choice.
- In a lightly greased skillet, brown sausage balls until the sausage is thoroughly cooked, turning several times. Let cool a bit on a paper towel and serve.
