Yields1 Serving
 3 cups all-purpose baking mix
 1 lb ground mild or hot pork sausage
 1 (10-ounce) block extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (we used Cracker Barrel)
 54 small pimiento-stuffed olives
1

Preheat oven to 400°.

2

Combine baking mix, sausage, and cheese in a big bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until blended.

3

Shape sausage mixture into 1-inch balls, and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Press 1 olive deeply into each ball. Reroll using the palms of your hands if you need to reshape. Bake at 400° for 22 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove baking sheets from the oven using oven mitts.

Make-Ahead Tip: Freeze Monster Eyes in an airtight container up to 1 month. To reheat, place frozen balls on an ungreased baking sheet, and bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until heated through.
