Ingredients

  • ground pork sausage
    1 lb
  • sharp cheddar cheese

    fresh off the block for optimal moisture and flavor

    2 c
  • Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix*

    mixed with seasoning packet, spooned and leveled

    2 c
  • buttermilk
    ¼ c
  • scallion )

    (finely diced

    1
  • remoulade sauce

Directions

  1. 1

    Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, mix together all of the ingredients on low speed until evenly combined (alternatively, mix by hand.) Use a wooden spoon if you don’t have a stand mixer. The uncooked dough is stiff and crumbly, and very hard to stir, so a stand mixer will really be your friend here. If you don’t have a stand mixer, use a wooden spoon and then your hands to work the ingredients into a dough.

  3. 3

    Using a cookie scoop, form 1½-inch balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place on the baking sheet 1-inch apart.

  4. 4

    Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes (this will help them hold their shape).

  5. 5

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  6. 6

    Bake for 22-25 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom and sausage is cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve hot with the remoulade sauce and enjoy!
