Sausage Rice Balls

Ingredients

1 ½ lbs sausage
3 cups Biscuit Mix
8 oz. (2 cups) grated, cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 cups cooked Riceland Gold Parboiled Rice

Preparation

Break sausage apart.  Combine with remaining ingredients.  Shape mixture into balls.  Place on ungreased baking sheet.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.  Makes about 60 (1 1/2 inch) balls.

Chef's Notes:
1.  If the sausage and cheese are used immediately upon removing from the refrigerator, the ingredients will not combine well.
2.  Remove sausage and cheese from frig before starting to cook rice.  They will warm slightly while rice is cooking. 
3.  Allow cooked rice to sit for 30 minutes before combining with other ingredients.  Do not combine immediately after cooking.
