If I had kept count through the years, I would bet I have made 10,000 sausage balls! I've been making them for over 35 years with breakfast sausage, cheddar cheese, and Bisquick.
But I've been seeing a new version on my social media feed lately. How about substituting the Bisquick with a boxed stuffing mix? Well, that got my attention! You can choose any flavor you'd like, but I chose the cornbread variety.
Empty the stuffing mix into a large mixing bowl.
Next, using a large spoon or your (very!) clean hands, mix in the sausage and the shredded cheese.
Spray a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray. Roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and place on the baking sheet. I had 40 sausage balls with this batch.
Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for an hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the sausage balls for 25-28 minutes until the internal temperature checks as 165 degrees F.
You can serve these little bites of Thanksgiving goodness with cranberry sauce or gravy to dip them. I had some spiced cranberry jelly from Aldi left over from our Oktoberfest meal. That made an amazing accompaniment!
Might have to give these a try.
