  • Combine sausage, baking mix, Cheddar cheese, egg, and evaporated milk in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix on low speed until thoroughly combined.

  • Shape sausage mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange onto baking sheets.

  • Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Cook's Note:

Bake these on a baking stone if you have one.

Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in microwave for approximately 20 seconds.

To blend in a blender, pour soup into blender bowl no more than half full. Hold lid in place and pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.

Use your favorite type of ground sausage to make different styles.

The evaporated milk makes all the difference! Nice and moist instead of dry and hard. They were gone in 10 minutes. Definitely my new favorite sausage ball recipe! Read More

These were very easy to make. My problem was they were a little bland and I used hot sausage. I plan on making them again and adding different seasonings to give it some zip. It's a great base just needs something.... I just don't know what that is just yet. I will add to this review next time I make it. Also, make sure you check the core temperature. I needed to bake them an extra 6 minutes to get them at a temp I felt comfortable with. Read More

Easy to make and I like that they stayed light and moist. Even using hot sausage they were fairly bland next time I'll definitely up the heat and use sharp cheddar. Read More

I love this recipe as is. When I first made sausage balls I just used sausage bisquick and cheddar. They were awful dry and hard. The addition of the milk and egg is just what it needed and they are moist and light. This will be my go to recipe from now on. Read More

I've been making sausage cheeseballs for years but this recipe is certainly one I will use from now on. After reading the comments I added a dash of worschester sauce and some minced onion to kick the flavor up a bit. So moist compared to the dry ones I have previously made. Read More
