Gradually add the dry mixture to the sausage mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Shape the Balls: Use your hands to form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a greased or lined baking sheet.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.

If using, sprinkle the additional shredded cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Tips

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

Serving Ideas: These are great as appetizers, snacks, or even breakfast bites.

Serve with a side of ranch or your favorite dipping sauce!

Enjoy your delicious sausage balls!

Variations

Cheesy Explosion: Swap out or add to the cream cheese with other types of cheese, such as shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack, to create a richer, cheesier flavor.

For a spicier kick, use spicy sausage and a hotter Rotel variety.

Herb and Spice Boost: Add fresh chopped parsley, chives, or a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning to the mixture for an extra layer of flavor.

You can also sprinkle the sausage balls with grated Parmesan before baking for a crispy, cheesy topping.

Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free biscuit mix or almond flour instead of regular biscuit mix to make these sausage balls suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.

How to Store

Refrigerating Leftovers: Allow the sausage balls to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain their crispy exterior.

Freezing for Later: Freeze uncooked sausage balls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container.

Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
