1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese enhances the flavor and creates a gooey texture
1 pound Ground beef the star protein that keeps these bites hearty and satisfying
2 cups Pancake mix adds a light texture and binds the mixture beautifully
½ cup Milk hydrates the mix, making it easy to shape into balls
1 teaspoon Garlic powder infuses a rich, savory depth that complements the beef
1 teaspoon Onion powder brings a subtle sweetness and savory essence to the mix
½ teaspoon Black pepper adds just the right amount of heat for a balanced flavor
1 teaspoon Salt elevates all the flavors for a delicious bite
1 teaspoon Paprika adds a hint of smokiness and warmth, tying the flavors together

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, pancake mix, and milk. Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and paprika. Blend until well incorporated.
Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place each sausage ball on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese melts beautifully.
Remove from the oven and let the sausage balls cool for a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite dips.

Make a double batch and freeze the extras for those cozy nights in. Perfect with creamy dips!
