Notes
Storage:Store unbaked sausage balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days with waxed paper or parchment between the layers.Once they're baked store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.To FreezeYou can freeze them unbaked. Shape them and flash freeze them on a cookie sheet.When they're frozen put them in a freezer container with parchment between the layers or ziploc bag and freeze for up to 3 months.When you're ready to eat just take them out, put them on the baking sheet and bake as instructed below - but add about 2 minutes to the total time to ensure they are cooked through.You can freeze them baked as well. Either way the sausage balls stay moist and delicious thanks to the addition of cream cheese.Tips:
These mix up easier if everything is at room temperature.
Form with a cookie scoop to keep them uniform in size.
If you mix the ingredients in the order given it's a lot easier.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment will keep the sausage balls from sticking.
Sometimes they stick a little so about halfway through the baking time it's good to turn them over or jiggle them a little bit - but hey... if you forget, no worries.
Let them sit on paper towels for a couple of minutes when they come out of the oven. This will get rid of any extra grease.
IF you want to make a ton of them ahead of time? Just form them and put them right next to each other on a baking sheet. Slide the baking sheet in the freezer and flash freeze them. Once they're frozen put them in a freezer bag to use as needed. When you want to serve them just put them on the greased cookie sheet right from the freezer and bake them for 25 minutes or until they're heated all the way though.
