Ingredients

  • 2 packages

    JOHNSONVILLE® Fresh Italian Hot Sausage (links or ground)

  • 1 cup

    biscuit/baking mix

  • 2

    eggs, whisked

  • 2 teaspoons

    garlic powder

  • 4

    string-cheese sticks (Wisconsin-made)

  • Sauces for dipping: marinara, stone-ground mustard, barbeque sauce and/or salsa

  • Peanut oil (vegetable oil can substitute)

Directions

  1. Preheat pot of oil to 375°F.

  2. Cut up string-cheese sticks into 6 segments per stick, 24 segments total, and set aside.

  3. If using sausage links, remove casing and put sausage into a large mixing bowl.

  4. Combine sausage with baking mix, eggs and garlic powder. If needed, use hands to disperse ingredients evenly.

  5. Using a 1-inch scoop (around 2 tbsp), scoop sausage mixture into your hand. Make a divot with your spoon or scoop. Place a segment of string cheese into the center, and fold the sausage mixture around the cheese. Roll into a ball, making sure there are no cracks where the cheese can leak out. Place on a baking sheet and repeat.

  6. Place 6 to 8 bites into the deep fryer at a time, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until dark brown and cooked through.

  7. Serve immediately with your favorite tailgate dipping sauce—marinara, stone-ground mustard, barbecue and/or salsa.
