My supervisor brought in some of these sausage cheese balls to share, and oh my, I loved them. Original recipe at Plain Chicken.
Cream Cheese Sausage Balls
(Printable Recipe)
1 lb hot sausage, uncooked
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups Bisquick
4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 400F.
Mix all ingredients until well combined. (I use my KitchenAid mixer with the dough hook attachment) Roll into 1-inch balls. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until brown.
Sausage balls may be frozen uncooked. If baking frozen, add a few minutes to the baking time.
Plain Chicken’s advice to use the mixer with the dough hook attachment was the best ever! It didn’t over mix making it tough. They were blended, and completely mixed.
I froze half of the mixture. These were creamy, moist, and had a bit of a kick due to the hot sausage (used Jimmy Dean’s Hot). I loved the original recipe of the sausage balls without the cream cheese, but these are so much better.
