How to Make Sausage Cheese Ball Appetizers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Shred 2 cups of cheese.
  3. Let 1 pound of sausage and shredded cheese come to room temperature (microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring frequently, to speed up the process. Be careful not to melt the cheese).
  4. In a large bowl, gently combine 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the sausage, and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix with your hands until just combined.
  5. Add another 1/3 of the cheese and 1/3 of the sausage; mix well.
  6. Add the remaining cheese, sausage, and the remaining all purpose flour. If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water until it holds its shape.
  7. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  8. Place the balls onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Adjust baking time depending on the size of the balls.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature. These reheat beautifully in the microwave!
