This is my favorite recipe for Sausage Balls but I just use cheese that is shredded already, it turns out perfect every time. It was actually a big hit with my uncle and cousin. My uncles wife died when I was young and for some reason I remembered her bringing sausage balls to a family dinner. When I brought them they both said that it tasted just like her recipe and they loved it!

In reply to Angie. Angia, I don't how widely available Tennessee Pride is. We can get where I live. I used to buy their little sausage biscuits when my kids were little. They were the perfect size for little hands.

In reply to Chris Thomas. They're great to make for a crowd, Chris, because they freeze so well. You can freeze then cooked, thaw, wrap in aluminum foil and reheat.

I’ve heard of them, but have yet to try them. This actually looks like something I could make, en-mass, for a Sunday brunch at church. They love my bacon, sausage, cheese, cornbread thing that I make. They don’t eat it, they inhale it. Thanks for the recipe.
God bless.

I’ve made sausage cheese balls since high school and being from Tennessee I use Tennessee Pride sausage in mine. I suspect it may not be available in some areas of the country.

I have been making these for many many years and offer a couple suggestions(ok, more than a couple). Make sure everything is at room temperature to make mixing easier. Use a HOT sausage, the heat has already had time to blend with the sausage. Also pinch off small pieces of the sausage and blend in like you did the cheese, it makes it easier to mix. In addition to cayenne pepper several shots of a hot pepper sauce is a good addition. Use the sharpest cheese you can get a hold of so the flavor will survive the baking process better. This year I changed the recipe just a bit. I used 3 cups of Bisquick instead of 2 AND added 1/2 cup of milk – it makes the mix a lot easier to mix. Mix by hand AND put on a pair of latex or nitril gloves as it makes it easier to clean up afterwards. Use a scoop or “disher” that provides about 1-1/2 tablespoons to portion your sausage cheese balls. portion out onto a tray and then go back and roll between the palms of your hands. Have I mention how much I like sausage cheese balls???

This is my mom’s basic recipe with two main changes – one: NC girl here – so Neese’s Hot Sausage, (Jimmy dean only in a pinch – also hot), and two: straight up extra sharp cheddar. Gone in a flash – my husband devors them straight from the oven.

In reply to patty. Hi Patty, Disco Drops is an interesting name and certainly fitting for the '70 s era. Happy reunion!

In reply to cindy.

Cindy,

That’s about the same amount of time that Ive had my KitchenAide and haven’t used the dough hook once. I make cinnamon rolls at Christmas and the recipe I use requires 10 minutes of kneading. Even that doesn’t remind me to use my dough hook. I think about it when the rolls are all done. 🙂

Enjoy the videos!

To be honest, I think this is the first time I’ve used my dough hook and I’ve had my mixer about 7 years! Incidentally, I just watched your video of pimenocheese today……my first of your videos. I don’t know how I’ve missed that you have videos!!! I’m afraid that I will spend a lot more time at my computer now! 🙂

Happy New Year to you and yours!

In reply to cindy.

Cindy,

What a smart, smart, smart thing to do!!! I’m will certainly try this next time. I don’t use my dough hook nearly enough. I just can’t get in the habit of thinking about it.

Thanks so much for stopping in, Cindy. Happy New Year! 🙂

In reply to Jackie Garvin. I've been making these for years too, but this year had the bright idea to mix them in my KitchenAid mixer with the dough hook. Perfect and quick! Now if it could just make balls!

In reply to Beverly Sargent.

Beverly,

What an excellent idea of making mini muffins out of Sausage Balls! That would certainly be easier than rolling out all those balls.

Grape jelly would go so well with these. I like to put grape jelly on sausage biscuits. YUM!

Happy New Year! 🙂

Love sausage cheese balls – have been making them since I started cooking – some 30+ years ago! I’ve seen photos of them being baked in a mini muffin pan, have you tried that? I’ve also served them with grape jelly as a dipping sauce/side – but your honey mustard sounds wonderful!

In reply to Eric.

Eric,
So glad you enjoyed them! They’re sort of like potato chips…..once you get started eating them, it’s hard to stop. 🙂
