I did say it was decades ago! Someone brought them to work for a
holiday pot luck. This was in the 1980's. I asked her for the recipe;
it came from the Bisquick box.

The first time I made sausage balls I realized how much easier it would
be to mix by hand if the ingredients were not all ice cold. <shrug> To
me it's common sense.

Yes. But then what's the difference between that and biscuits and gravy, a
hamburger or a pizza with meat? All bread products with meat.

I havent either but it might be quite good. Just not the average sort
seen in parts of the south I have been in.

We DO make sausage cheese balls but it's got a true dough (not just dry
bisquick) and probably a bit different. What is odd is the Jezebel
sauce in the end. I suspect a local favorite?

My stomping grounds were/are western SC (Mountains), Norfolk area
(current) and Charlottesville (Northern VA) with a lot of time in
Georgia (Atlanta) and New Orleans. Those who count Texas as the south,
add San Antonio and Corpus Christi.

It's not a total 'all southerners know this' but more something
probably local to a limited spot. Doesn't mean it's not good or not
popular there though!


More common is to make an actual dough and encorporate the cheese and
sausage.

Umm, at 3 cups bread mix, it's a bread.

How can you say dried biscuit mix is bread?

Despite the Bisquick recipe, I never used three cups of baking mix. One
and a half to two cups, worked in gradually. I'd have done gradually
the same with seasoned flour if I didn't have baking mix. It's used as
a BINDER. It's not the main ingredient. What don't you understand
about this?

I knew someone would come up with something stupid like that. Jill
trying to say 3 cups of Bisquick to a pound of meat is only a binder
was unexpectedly stupid, but this one was too predictable.

LOL! I was kidding with that, Melba, but it actually IS a pretty good
dip and chip thing.

Your shrimp idea is good. And right out of the bottle cocktail sauce
works but it really is so easy to make your own. When I cook shrimp,
I spice it so nice I never end up using any cocktail sauce. I often
made it for years but rarely used it so I stopped making it.

Cooking raw shrimp: Don't steam it, use a shrimp boil... Mix of 1/2
water and 1/2 vinegar. Heavily spice the water with some salt and Old
Bay Seasoning. Stir the shrimp to coat all as it's briefly cooking.
Drain and serve.

It's so good, I usually skip the cocktail sauce. It's that good.

Slopping together JARRED ketchup and JARRED prepared horseradish is not
*making your own*.

Anyone who has bad enough taste to slop this crap together would probably
be too undiscriminating to regret eating anything that didn't actually
make him/her physically ill.

Hummus (Sabra is available nationwide and is pretty good), with pita
bread cut into triangles and/or veggies and/or other cracker-ish things.

If there's leftover hummus, you can make sandwiches out of it (like
peanut butter, only savory): bread spread with a good amount of
hummus, garnished with sliced cucumber, onion, tomato, and lettuce
or spring mix.

Kelchner's brand is my favorite, I don't bother trying to duplicate
it.

I don't bother, either. I jes make my own.

Some ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, capers, and a shot of hot
sauce and/or W-shire sauce is all that's necessary. Not exactly
rocket science. The better the ingredients, the better the cocktail
sauce.

No question it's dead easy to make, but I want it to be just
like this brand. I only have it a few times a year and people
comment on how good it is, so that's what I do, buy that brand.
I don't know how widely available it is so don't you go running
out to look for it. (laugh)

Sorry. I thought we were using 21st century English not 16th century.
