Homemade Sausage Balls with Cream Cheese

Miss Carroll’s Not Your Grandma’s Sausage Balls

I created this version of sausage balls after eating way too many dry sausage balls. These sausage balls are moist and tender, and you will never have to eat another dry one!

The cream cheese and heavy cream keep the sausage balls tender. The chives and garlic powder give the sausage balls that over-the-top savory flavor. They are best served warm right out of the oven.

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14

Prep Time: 15 mins – Baking Time: 20-25 mins – Total Time: 45 mins

Servings: 12-18 sausage balls

Sausage Balls Ingredients

  • 1 pound of pork sausage at room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups of Bisquick
  • 1 8-oz. block of cream cheese at room temperature
  • 4 ounces of cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 ½ tsp of garlic powder
  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • Fresh chives, for garnish

Sausage Balls Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients until well combined. I use my gloved hands but a heavy-duty stand mixer will work, too.
  2. Using a 1-inch scooper, make loosely round balls. Do not compact the balls.
  3. Place on parchment lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or lightly golden.
  6. Garnish with fresh chives. Serve warm.

ENJOY! Make memories with the ones you love! 💗
