Why Sausage Balls are the Perfect Holiday Party Food

1. They’re easy to make, and you have got plenty to do already!
2. They’re delicious. Yes, they’re simple, but they’re soooo good!
3. This easy sausage balls recipe yields a lot! Depending on the size you make them you can easily get a few dozen sausage balls out of this recipe.
4. They’re easy to grab and go! You don’t need utensils for this yummy treat. Put a few on a plate or napkin and you’re good to go!

Party Favorite Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

A few tips before you get started:

• You could easily spice up the original recipe for these sausage balls with a dash of red pepper or Worcestershire sauce. Or by adding your favorite sausage, whether it’s a spicy hot breakfast sausage, turkey sausage, hot Italian sausage, etc.! Don’t be afraid to experiment for that extra flavor boost!
• You may want to spray your foil with cooking spray or use a non-stick foil before baking if you find your sausage balls are sticking to the pan.
• Did you run out of Bisquick baking mix? I’ve used all purpose flour before as a substitute and had really good results!
• Want to try a sharp cheddar cheese, or even mozzarella? Go for it!
• Serve them right out of the oven or let them sit to room temperature, either way they’ll be eaten right up!
• You don’t need a dipping sauce to enjoy this delicious appetizer, but if you want one, try honey mustard or ketchup. 
• While it’s unlikely you’ll have leftover sausage balls, if you do, we have some yummy sausage ball recipes to help you try them in new ways! Who knew an easy appetizer like Bisquick sausage balls was so versatile??

Sausage Ball Ingredients:

• 1 lb of sausage (raw)
• 1 8 oz. block of cream cheese
• 1 Cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 Cup of Bisquick baking mix

1. First thing, pre-heat oven to 375 F.

2. Take the sausage and cream cheese and add to a large bowl. I like to place them in the microwave for 30 second to heat them up slightly so its not quite so cold when I mix the ingredients with my hands.

3.  Add the Bisquick mix and cheddar cheese to the sausage and cream cheese.

4. Now it’s time to get your hands dirty and mix all the ingredients until combined in a large ball.

5. For best results, take about 1 tablespoon size of the sausage ball mixture (I really just eye ball this) and roll into small balls. You can use your hands to grab the sausage mixture or use a cookie scoop to help with uniform size. Cover your sheet pans in foil or parchment paper and placed uncooked sausage balls spaced about two inches apart. A reminder when you’re scooping your mixture: 1-inch balls will cook a little faster than larger!

6. Put into your preheated oven and cook sausage balls for 10-15 until your sausage cheese balls are cooked through. Checked baked balls to make sure they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees and look golden brown. 

7. Serve and enjoy your perfect appetizer! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do! 

Looking for the EASIEST dessert recipe everyone will obsess over? Two ingredients and just minutes are all you need!
