About Sausage balls

Sausage balls are a savory snack or appetizer commonly enjoyed in Southern U.S. cuisine. Made from a blend of ground pork sausage, shredded cheese, and baking mix (like biscuit or pancake mix), they are typically rolled into small spheres and baked until golden. Their rich, cheesy flavor and tender texture make them a favorite for gatherings and holiday meals. Nutritionally, sausage balls are high in protein due to the sausage and cheese but can also be calorie-dense and high in saturated fats and sodium. While not particularly nutrient-rich, they provide quick energy and are satisfying in moderation. Variations may include adding spices, herbs, or whole-grain mixes for enhanced flavor and nutrition. Enjoying sausage balls as part of a balanced meal or in smaller portions can help mitigate their less healthy aspects while savoring their indulgent taste.
