Notes
- Make-ahead option: You can prepare the sausage ball mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. This makes it easy to assemble them ahead of time and bake them fresh when you’re ready to serve.
- Freezing option: To freeze the sausage balls, form them into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze them for about 1 hour, then transfer the frozen balls to a freezer-safe container or bag. When ready to bake, you can bake them straight from the freezer, adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
- Cheese variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack for a spicier kick or mozzarella for a milder, gooey texture.
- Spicy option: If you like things extra spicy, add a bit of cayenne pepper or more diced green chilies to the sausage mixture.
- Serving suggestions: These sausage balls are great served with a side of ranch dressing, creamy avocado dip, or even a smoky barbecue sauce. They also pair perfectly with a cold beer or a chilled glass of lemonade for a fun and casual meal.
