Sausage Cheese Balls

I needed to bake these for 28 mins but they were soooooooo worth the wait. Delicious!!

Had a hard time figuring out what buttermilk baking mix was, asked for it in several stores and couldn’t find it. Ended up using a buttermilk pancake mix and it turned out just fine. Assuming I could use a buttermilk biscuit mix as well? I divided the mix and added jalapenos in half, they ended up being more popular. I used Jimmy Dean sausage, next time I’ll probably use hot sausage instead. Baked them for a longer time, and they didn’t seem to be fully cooked at 15 minutes, possibly due to making the meatballs larger? I made these for a Thanksgiving family dinner and have also been directed to bring them to the Christmas dinner!

Excellent, excellent recipe!

I have made these for years and EVERYONE loves them. However, with one HUGE difference; I par-fry the sausage and drain off most of the grease. I tried making them the very first time with raw sausage and was NOT happy with the process or the outcome. I also do not add in celery, just celery salt, garlic powder and black pepper. My recipe calls for 2 c. baking mix, 1 1/2 c. sharp cheddar and 1/2c. milk.

OMG! Great recipe. My husband loved it and was not willing to share the extra meatballs with others. I did not add celery.

Absolutely delicious! I couldn’t stop eating them! I didn’t have celery on hand, so I used celery salt. I made a half batch and there were only 6 left with 2 people eating them. We didn’t even use sauce.

These sausage balls were amazing! I took them to a New Year’s Eve party and they were gone in a very short time. People loved them! I made a couple changes. I omitted the celery. I added 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of milk as another reviewer suggested. I baked them for 20 min and then broiled them for @ 3 mins to brown them up a bit more. They were delicious! Moist on the inside with a little crispy crunch on the outside. Thanks for posting this recipe. I will definitely make these again! Tip: To help clean up the baked on sausage balls from the pans I covered the baking pans with a mixture of Dawn, baking soda and a little water and let them sit for a while. The pans cleaned right up!

I love these I use flour usually but am going to get pancake mix to try it the standard way . I love farmer Johns spicy sausage but it comes in 12 oz instead of 16 so that threw me off with the flour & baking powder.

No changes and the people at work loved them

I make them using 1/2 chorizo sausage and 1/2 breakfast sausage mixed together for this receipt. Typically a pound of each with 2 cups of bisquick and lots of cheese, at least two bags of shreaded (1-jack & 1- cheddar). Add Tabasco to taste.

This appetizer is fine, but I used breakfast sausage and may have enjoyed a sausage that had a little kick. I did find a couple of good sauces on line, which elevated the recipe. The sauces were honey mustard and spicy ketchup. I had the sense that the recipe would not produce a lot of sausage balls, but we had plenty. The recipe yielded more than I expected.

Made these with chorizo for a spicy Mexican appetizer- delicious!

I thought the meatballs tasted too doughy.

This is one of my grandson’s favorite things to have during race season. He’s always the first one in line to make sure he gets a plate full. Thanks for the delicious recipe. It’s going to be a family favorite for a LONG time.

I liked them I used Jimmy Dean fully cooked original pork sausage crumbles and I guess the fat was already drained out so no extra fat to worry about. If you use foil make sure you spray it they do stick a bit, and they get bigger when they cook mine will be two bites . I will make them again

I would use spicier sausage next time. They are pretty greasy so I drained them on a rack.

YES I HAVE MY NAME IS MELISSA AND I USE 2 POUNDS OF PORK SAUSAGE CHEDDAR CHEESE WITH WATER BECAUSE OF THE BISQUICK CHOPPED ONIONS,CHOPPED CELERY GARLICKPOWDER,ONIONPOWDER WITH ONE BAG OF STUFFING AND THEY TURN OUT GREAT FOR ANY APPETIZER

I took the advice of others and added some milk and egg. I didn’t have buttermilk baking mix so used regular (although I’ll bet it’s great with buttermilk). I used spicy sausage and some diced jalapeños as well. My husband couldn’t stop eating them! I also brought them to a new year’s brunch and they got great reviews. Thanks for the recipe!

I love this recipe! Didn’t change it at all. They were delicious and fast to make. Had enough to freeze for later. Yum!!

I made this recipe using 1 lb of plain breakfast sausage (with a higher fat content) and 1 lb of hot breakfast sausage (lower fat content). I used the given amounts of pancake mix, cheese, onions, and celery, then added about 1 teaspoon of garlic salt and a couple shakes of paprika. If you’re using pre-shredded cheese, it helps to chop it up a little before mixing it in. Lastly, I peeled one apple and grated it finely into the mixture before mixing. It gives them a nice flavor and helps add some moisture, so that is an alternative to eggs/milk if your mixture doesn’t seem to stay together well. I cooked them on a rack for 21 minutes, then took them out and flipped them and broiled them on low for 2 minutes to help the bottoms get a slightly crispy texture to match the tops. Delicious!

These sausage balls were pretty good. I decided to give this particular one a try since the base recipe included the addition of celery and garlic powder. The texture of the celery was nice, but at times I found myself getting too much of that celery flavor which kind of overpowered the pork. Next time, I may cut back or dice them up even more. I tried the recipe this time with regular pork sausage, but when making sausage balls, I like to switch it up and use maple flavored. I also had some left over jack cheese that I threw in as well with the cheddar. I served them on top of some jelly that I had in the fridge. Overall, these are perfect appetizers!
