Cream Cheese Sausage Balls – this recipe will change the way you make sausage ball forever! Seriously THE BEST sausage balls EVER!
These are the BEST Sausage Balls!
Sausage balls are a classic tailgating treat. It doesn’t matter what time the game is, sausage balls are always welcomed at the tailgate! We’ve tried lots of different recipes over the years and finally found our “go-to” recipe.
These are by far the best sausage balls we’ve ever made. What makes these sausage balls so good? Well, the secret ingredient is cream cheese. The cream cheese keeps the sausage balls very moist and tender. We used hot sausage to give the sausage balls a little kick, but regular sausage would work well too. Bring these to your next tailgate party – you won’t be sorry!

How much of a kick do they have? We are not a big fan of really hot foods so wondering if I should go with the mild sausage.
Oh my gosh! have made millions of sausage balls through the years – can't wait to try with your secret ingredient!!! YUM!
I just love these things and can't quit eating them. I'm sure they were enjoyable for yesterday's exciting game.
I made these this weekend and they were amazing!
Made these before the game today for a trial run – husband loved them! The cream cheese really helped keep them moist! Definitley making these for the next game. WAR EAGLE!
AWESOME!!! I doubled the recipe to take to a football party this afternoon. Looks like I'll be stopping for chips/dip because my husband and son have demolished most of them!!
These look great will try them for Happy Hour next time I go camping.

Yummy! Love the cc idea.
I always have these frozen for breakfast.
Although, due to my imagination when I was about 4 years old, my family and I call these "poo poos".
You eat them frozen?
Stacy, do you cook them and then freeze and thaw out as needed, or do you freeze raw and cook as needed.
MES – you freeze them raw and bake as needed
Susie – It just depends on how big your roll the sausage balls. I usually get around 36.
how many does the recipe make? I've never done sausage balls but I know the hubs and kiddos would love them.
One of my absolute favs!! I could eat these for dinner!!! Thanks for the new recipe.
Can't wait to try these…perfect for the Super Bowl Party…:))
When my husband and I first got married, I think I made sausage balls at least once a month… no special occasion needed. He loves them!
