Preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly spray a MINI muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Mix uncooked sausage and cheese gently until well blended. Shape into 40 balls of equal size.
Remove biscuits from cans and separate each biscuit into two layers, making 40 total biscuit layers. Press one layer of biscuit into cup of MINI muffin pan. Repeat with remaining layers.
Place sausage-cheese ball in each biscuit cup.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until biscuits are browned and sausage balls are bubbly.
Notes:
Do NOT precook the sausage. You are going to use the sausage raw. It will cook along with the biscuits.
You can roll the sausage and cheese into balls ahead of time and assemble the biscuit bites when you are ready to bake them.
I use Tennessee Pride or Jimmy Dean sausage.
You can substitute turkey sausage for the pork sausage if you prefer.
This recipe uses the smaller refrigerated biscuits. Look for a 12-oz can or 6-oz can of biscuits. They will have 10 or 5 biscuits per can.
