Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to ensure a smooth and even texture in the sausage balls. If the mixture feels sticky when rolling into balls, lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking. These sausage balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking. They also freeze well; simply place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before storing them in a freezer bag. When ready to cook, bake directly from frozen, adding an additional 5 minutes to the cooking time.
