Ingredients

  • 1 (8oz) package cream cheese softened
  • 1 LB ground sausage, mild or spicy
  • 1 (7.5oz) box bacon cheddar biscuit mix
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, mild or sharp
  • 2 cups dipping sauces as desired (optional) (ranch, hot mustard, Chic-Fil-A)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the uncooked sausage and beat into the cream cheese, just until combined.
  • Add the biscuit mix and the shredded cheese and combine all ingredients well. May use hands to do this step instead of mixer.
  • Use the size cookie scoop, or spoon you want the balls to be. Scoop dough and roll into balls. Arrange on baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart.
  • Bake the balls for 15-20 minutes, depending on their size. Bake until they are light golden brown.
  • Remove from the baking sheet onto a paper towel if they seem greasy.
  • Arrange on a serving platter. Set dips around the platter and serve.

Notes

NUTRITIONAL DISCLAIMER. Calorie count provided is an estimate and will vary based on cooking methods and brands of ingredients used.
Any flavor of biscuit mix may be used. 
These can be made ahead of time and stored in refrigerator 3 days. 
May also be frozen.  If freezing before baking, place them on the parchment lined baking sheets and flash freeze, you can put them in Ziploc bags after they are frozen. I put my Ziploc bags in plastic containers.
If freezing after baking, allow them to cool, place in the Ziploc bags and then into a plastic container.
To reheat leftovers, place in the oven at 350 degrees on a baking pan until they are warm. About 10 minutes. Do not overcook.
In an air fryer, place your leftover sausage balls back in the basket until hot, usually about 10 minutes.
Microwave, but this is the least preferred way. They can dry out easier.
