Notes
For the best results, ensure the sausage is well combined with the dry ingredients before adding the buttermilk. This helps in evenly distributing the flavors throughout each ball. Using freshly shredded cheddar cheese rather than pre-shredded can enhance the flavor and texture, as pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents. Adjust the spice levels by adding more or less of the seasoning based on your preference. Enjoy these sausage balls warm or at room temperature for optimal taste.
