Fire Balls

Recipe By : Jo Anne Merrill
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : Appetizers Pork

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
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.

1. Cut off stem ends and remove seeds from the peppers. Rinse peppers to
remove seeds, but allow some seeds to remain if you like them hotter.

2. Stuff peppers lightly with cheese, then set aside.

3. 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.

4. Using a lightly greased skillet, brown sausage balls until the sausage
is thoroughly cooked, turning several times.
