You can’t go wrong with sausage cheese balls!
The result is a small bite of cheesy biscuit mixed with browned sausage and it’s so comforting and yummy tasting. I love sausage balls as they are easy to mix up, and so versatile. You could add other add-ins like chives, cream cheese, or perhaps come up with a dipping sauce like ranch or BBQ sauce.
These are perfect for the holidays and can also be a great make-ahead breakfast. Sausage balls store easily and are delclious reheated throughout the week. You could also prep the mixture, roll up a bunch for a party, freeze them, and bake when when ready to entertain. They also can travel well for potluck parties!

Extra tips for making Cheddar Bay sausage balls:
- Do you need gluten-free sausage balls? Buy the gluten-free Cheddar Bay mix!
- I noticed that some people love to add cream cheese for a richer taste and to add moisture. That could be fun to experiment with!
- This was so quick and easy to make using a stand mixer. I highly recommend it for ease to use it if you have one. Maybe a potato masher or wooden spoon would work instead.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to roll consistent sized sausage balls
- Consider lining your sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup afterward! I do love using my Caraway bakeware as it’s nonstick.

Jimmy Dean sausage balls are my new favorite thing now!
I’m gonna be baking these up for the holidays. How about you? My husband made some eggs and warmed some up the next day for breakfast in the microwave and said they were so good.
Have you made pigs in a blanket using puff pastry?! It’s insanely delclious.
THIS MIX IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN GLUTEN FREE AND TASTE GREAT
Good to know that option is available too, Becky! 🙌 Thanks for letting us know it tastes great! 💞
If they are like the standard ones made with Bisquick, sausage and cheese, you can freeze them raw then bake them from frozen. We do this every year for Christmas morning.
