Tips for Success

To ensure your sausage balls turn out perfectly every time, use room temperature cream cheese. This will make mixing the ingredients easier and result in a smoother texture. If you're short on time, you can microwave the cream cheese for a few seconds to soften it quickly.

Another helpful tip is to avoid overmixing the dough. Once all ingredients are incorporated, stop mixing to keep the sausage balls tender and fluffy. Overmixing can lead to a denser texture, which is not what you want for this recipe.

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftovers (though that’s unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. This method helps to maintain their crispy exterior while ensuring the inside remains deliciously moist.

For longer storage, freeze the unbaked sausage balls. Arrange them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to bake, simply pop them in the oven directly from the freezer and add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Nutritional Information

These Cream Cheese Bisquick Sausage Balls are not only delicious but also provide a satisfying source of protein thanks to the sausage and cheese. Each ball contains a balance of fats and carbohydrates, making them a filling snack option. However, as with any treat, moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet.

If you're looking to lighten the recipe, consider using turkey sausage instead of pork sausage, or opt for reduced-fat cream cheese. This way, you can enjoy the flavors you love while being mindful of your calorie intake.
