Start a campfire in the pit. Allow to catch on a few logs and then die down to grill over. Place the griddle over the grate to heat before cooking.
In a mixing bowl combine the 1 ½ cups flour, 1 ½ tsp. garlic power, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper.
Add 1 pound sausage, 1 block shredded cheddar cheese, 1 small onion-diced, ¼ cup maple syrup and 1 finely chopped jalapeño (optional). Combine.
Using your hands, shape mixture into 1 inch balls. Place onto heated griddle in batches using long tongs and oven mitts and allow to brown on all sides, rotating every few minutes.
The amount of time to cook will be determined by the heat of the fire under the griddle. Be sure to cook sausage fully to 160℉.
When fully cooked, remove from griddle using long tongs. Allow sausage balls to cool slightly before serving.
