You will notice that I have listed a total of 4 ingredients above, even though the recipe is for 3 ingredient sausage balls. It is entirely possible to use the first 3 simple ingredients to create these yummy sausage balls.

However, I have found that the addition of cream cheese to the recipe is a game changer! So now, I add that to the mix as well. And technically it can still be considered a 3 ingredient recipe, if you group the cream cheese and cheddar cheese together too! I mean they are both technically in the cheese category, right?!

Another note, I love to use hot sausage for this recipe, but you can substitute to whatever you like better. You can even use turkey sausage or chicken sausage too if you wanted.

How to Make Sausage Balls:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Combine all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer using the dough hook attachment.

You could mix them by hand, but it is a lot more work. That’s why I recommend the KitchenAid dough hook attachment for this process. Then, roll the dough together into 1-inch balls.

You can use a cookie scoop if you have one too. That way you can create them into a more uniformed size. I place them on a cookie sheet (I love to use my Caraway Home baking sheets) covered in parchment paper or aluminum foil.

If using foil, I also spray a little cooking spray on top to ensure the bottom of the sausage balls don’t stick.

Then, bake them for 18-22 minutes in the oven or until a golden brown color. I baked mine the total 22 minutes.

Then, store them in airtight container once cooled and place them in the fridge if you have any leftovers!

And that’s it! See how simple they are to make?! They really are the perfect appetizer and you can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce too. Such as honey mustard, homemade ranch dressing, bbq sauce, etc.

My hubby likes to sprinkle a little hot sauce on his too. But honestly, they are so good by themselves you probably don’t need any!

Can You Freeze Sausage Balls?

The answer is yes! If you want to do a little prep work and store them in the freezer before cooking them, feel free to do so! Just combine all the ingredients above in a large bowl and then roll the raw sausage into the palms of your hands to create a ball shape. Place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Then place them in the freezer until solid (2-3 hours or so). Once frozen, remove, and store uncooked sausage balls into a freezer bag. For best results, freeze for up to 3-4 months.

And now you have frozen sausage balls stored in the freezer that you can pop out and cook whenever you feel like it! Just cook them with the same temperature and instructions mentioned above (just add a few extra minutes to baking time) when you are ready to eat them!
