To make these Sausage and Cheddar Hush Puppies, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Vegetable oil, for frying

To start, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop the batter into the oil, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Fry the hush puppies until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the hush puppies to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
These Sausage and Cheddar Hush Puppies are best served hot and fresh out of the fryer. They have a crispy exterior and a soft, cheesy center that is sure to please any crowd. The sausage adds a savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheddar cheese. These hush puppies are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
