How To Do Hors d'Oeuvres, Camping Style

It was a weekend of camping and races. Well, racing for the guys and wine and
Hors d'Oeuvres for the girls. We stayed at the fairgrounds in Chico, and parked right at the front gate to the races. We had a little patch of grass and we were awning to awning with our friends.


When Michele said she was bringing the cheese ball, I thought of the sausage balls that I have been wanting to make. A perfect excuse to make them and someone to share with. They couldn't have been easier. Three ingredients and water.



First I just took 4 cups of grated Cheddar and mixed it with 3 cups of Bisquick.
Add one pound of cooked sausage and incorporate well.

Add 3/4 cups of water and mix until a ball forms. (I had to use my hands to get in there and really mix)




This is were I stopped and packed up for camping. I just wrapped my dough in saran wrap and put it in the fridge till I was ready to bake.

So Saturday night the boys and the kids went off to the race and my puffs went off to the oven. We made them into 1" balls and put some in a baggy. That way we could pop a batch in now and one for later when the crew came in for a pit stop.




These are a Paula Deen recipe and you are suppose to serve them with a sauce made of 1 cup mayo and 1 tablespoon mustard, mixed together. We skipped that part, but of course it could only be good. These baked up with a crisp layer of cheese on the bottom that was yummy.
