Miss Carroll created this version of sausage balls after eating way too many dry sausage balls. These sausage balls are moist and tender, and you’ll never have to eat another dry one!

The cream cheese and heavy cream keep the sausage balls tender. The chives and garlic powder give the sausage balls that over the top savory flavor.

Holiday baking just got better!! They are best served warm right out of the oven.

Sausage Balls Ingredients

1 pound of pork sausage at room temperature

1 8-oz. block of cream cheese at room temperature
4 ounces of cheddar cheese, grated
1 ½ tsp of garlic powder
⅓ cup chopped fresh chives

Sausage Balls Directions

Mix all ingredients together until well-combined. I use my hands but a heavy duty stand mixer will work, too.
Using a 1-inch scooper, make loosely round balls. Do not compact the balls.
Place on parchment lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or lightly golden.
