Notes

Tip 1: For evenly sized sausage balls, use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop.
Tip 2: Shred your own cheese for the best melt and flavor. Pre-shredded cheese can make the sausage balls greasy.
Tip 3: These can be frozen uncooked for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 5-10 minutes to the cook time.
