Versatile and Customizable

One of the best features of these sausage balls is their versatility. While the recipe calls for cheddar cheese and breakfast sausage, you can easily customize the ingredients to suit your taste. Consider using different types of cheese, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor. You could also swap the sausage for turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.

In addition to cheese variations, adding herbs and spices can enhance the flavor profile even further. Try incorporating chopped jalapeños for an extra kick or smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to make these sausage balls your own.

Make-Ahead and Freezer-Friendly

These Savory Cheddar Bay Biscuit Sausage Balls are not only simple to make but also perfect for planning ahead. You can prepare the mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. This is especially helpful if you're hosting a large gathering and want to minimize last-minute cooking.

Additionally, these sausage balls freeze beautifully. Simply form them into balls and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag for long-term storage. When you're ready to enjoy, bake them straight from the freezer—just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time. This way, you always have a delicious snack ready to go!

Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients to prepare your Savory Cheddar Bay Biscuit Sausage Balls:

Ingredients

1 pound breakfast sausage
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups biscuit mix
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Make sure to have all these ingredients ready before starting the cooking process.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Savory Cheddar Bay Biscuit Sausage Balls:

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, biscuit mix, milk, green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Form the Balls

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your savory bites!

Once baked, these sausage balls are ready to be served warm, perfect for dipping or enjoying on their own.

Storage Tips

To store any leftover Savory Cheddar Bay Biscuit Sausage Balls, let them cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you want to maintain their crispiness, consider reheating them in the oven rather than the microwave.

For longer storage, these sausage balls can be frozen. Just ensure they are fully cooked before freezing. When you’re ready to eat them, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat in the oven for that fresh-baked taste.

Serving Suggestions

These sausage balls are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of dips. A classic ranch dressing or a zesty honey mustard sauce works wonderfully. For a more gourmet touch, try a homemade garlic aioli or spicy sriracha mayo to complement their savory profile.

Consider pairing them with a refreshing beverage. A light beer or sparkling water with a slice of lemon balances the richness of the sausage balls perfectly, making for an enjoyable snacking experience.
