Ingredients

½ pound pork chorizo (I used Cub’s store brand)
2 cups pepper jack cheese shredded
1 cup Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
¼ cup sliced pickled jalapenos (optional)
Dipping sauce of your choice (pictured, Fiery Chipotle Gourmaise by Boar’s Head)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet (for easy cleanup!).
Add the pork chorizo, Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, and sliced pickled jalapenos to a food processor. Pulse for 15-20 seconds, until combined.

Add the shredded pepper jack cheese. Pulse for another 15-20 seconds, until combined.

Use a tablespoon, overfilling it slightly, as a guide to help you achieve uniform balls.
Roll the mixture between your hands to form round balls. Arrange balls on the baking sheet. Bake for 24-26 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately place on a cooling rack (so that any excess grease can drain off). Serve the Cheddar Bay Chorizo Balls on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice.

If there are any leftovers, store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, wrap a few balls in a paper towel and reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Notes

The pictured dipping sauce is Fiery Chipotle Gourmaise by Boar’s Head.

Using a tablespoon will result in good-sized Cheddar Bay Chorizo Balls - I usually get 18 from this recipe. If you prefer a smaller size, go for it! But make sure you check them around 18-20 minutes of baking so they don't overcook.
