Sausage balls are a staple around the south. You can't go to a pot luck or party without them being served. I didn't know I needed a new recipe for them but this one was interesting. Now that I have tried them I don't think I will be going back to the old kind any time soon. I like to make up a double batch and keep them in the freezer, so that is what I did this week.
You know I had to bake a couple to see how they were. They were the best.
There are a couple of new things in these sausage balls, cream cheese and hash browns.
Start with 8 oz of softened cream cheese
1 1/2 cups bisquick
I mixed that up until the cream cheese was crumbly.
Add 1 pound sausage. Now I always make two batches at a time so I can add 1/2 hot and 1/2 regular sausage. You add whatever your family likes.
1/2 of a 30 oz bag thawed shredded hash brown potatoes.
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese.
Mix well. The mixer is a big help. I used my small cookie scoop to help me make them into balls. This is messy messy work.
This is the first batch. I put them in the freezer while I was making the second batch. I then decided to put wax paper between the layers to keep them from sticking. When you want to bake just preheat the oven to 400 and bake for 20-22 minutes. A little longer if they are frozen.
They are nice a golden brown. They are nice and crunchy on bottom. The cream cheese and hash browns are a nice addition.
