Equipment

1 Food processor

Ingredients

½ pound ground beef
1 package taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning)
2 cups cheddar or pepper jack cheese shredded
1 cup biscuit mix
dipping sauce of your choice (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet (for easy cleanup!).
Add the ground beef, taco seasoning, shredded cheese, and Biscuit Mix to a food processor. Mix for 30-45 seconds, until combined. The mix should be slightly moist.
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 taco sausage balls on the baking sheet. Bake for 22-24 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool. Serve the Taco Balls on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

Note: Using a tablespoon will result in good-sized Taco Balls - I usually get 20 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.
