Customization Options
One of the best things about these sausage balls is how easily they can be customized to fit your taste. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor. You can also add chopped herbs like parsley or chives for an extra layer of freshness and color.
If you're looking to accommodate dietary restrictions, you can substitute the ground sausage with turkey sausage or even a plant-based alternative. Adjusting the ingredients allows you to create a version that suits your guests' preferences without sacrificing flavor.
Storage and Reheating
After enjoying these delicious sausage balls, you might find yourself with leftovers. They store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain their tasty texture, simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
For longer storage, you can freeze the uncooked sausage balls. Just shape them and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. This way, you can have a delicious snack ready whenever the craving strikes!
