Sausage balls are a savory snack popular in Southern cuisine, often served at gatherings or as hearty appetizers. They traditionally consist of ground sausage, shredded cheese, and biscuit mix or flour, blended and baked into bite-sized spheres. These flavorful morsels offer a combination of protein and fat from the sausage and cheese, with carbohydrates from the biscuit mix. While they provide energy and a satisfying taste, sausage balls are typically high in saturated fat and sodium, which may not align with heart-healthy eating guidelines. Some variations incorporate leaner sausage options, reduced-fat cheese, or whole-grain flour to enhance nutritional value. Despite their indulgent composition, sausage balls remain a comforting and widely enjoyed treat, especially when consumed in moderation.
