How Long Can Sausage Cheese Balls Sit Out
In many households sausage balls are a classic holiday appetizer. But many of you might be thinking: "Wait, what even is a sausage ball?!" The answer: Addictive bites of cooked pork sausage, cheddar, and Bisquick that will be the most popular appetizer at your party. Just make sure your guests finish them otherwise you'll be popping these bad boys for days after your party ends.
Can they be made ahead of time?
You can make the sausage mixture up to 24 hours in advance. Shape the mixture into balls and refrigerate them on a parchment-lined baking sheet until ready to bake.
What's a substitute for Bisquick?
If you don't want to use Bisquick or another boxed biscuit mix, no problem. Simply swap in 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tsp. baking powder, and 1/2 tsp. salt for this recipe.
What kind of sausage can I use?
Our favorite sausage for sausage balls is ground Italian pork sausage—you can use sweet or spicy!—but you can also use chicken or turkey sausage. If you like something spicy, try using chorizo. Just make sure it's the kind you buy raw; if it comes in links remove them from the casings. Pre-cooked sausage links will not work for this recipe.
Want to spice things up? You could use Mexican (not Spanish cured) chorizo! Also for a breakfast version you could use herbaceous, maple-y breakfast sausage.
Can I change up the cheese?
Always! We love cheddar since it's always a crowd-pleaser, but stirring in some Parmesan would totally give these even more dimension. But really most of your favorite cheeses will likely work: gruyère, pepper jack, mozzarella, the options are endless!
