Preheat The Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so nothing sticks.

Mixed The Dry Ingredients: Pour the biscuit mix into a large bowl. Remember, the seasoning packet is the secret to that classic Red Lobster flavor.

Add The Sausage, Cheddar, And Cream Cheese: Now comes the really fun messy part: crumbling in the raw sausage, shredded cheddar, and slicked cream cheese. Use your hands until the sausage-cheese mixture thickens and becomes sticky.

Tip: If the mixture feels crumbly, add a splash of milk. If it feels too sticky, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes and then roll.

Roll Into Balls: Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, measure out the batter into equally sized scoops, about one to one and a half inches. Now, you just have to roll between your palms until smooth.

Kitchen Tip: It's best to keep sizing consistent to let the balls bake evenly without any being under-baked or dry.

Bake: Place the balls on your baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown. Check with a thermometer—the internal temperature should reach 160°F to be safe.

Brush With Butter (Optional): For that signature Red Lobster finish, brush the tops with melted butter right after baking.

Serve: Transfer the hot sausage balls to a serving platter, pair with dipping sauces, and watch them disappear fast!
