Preheat oven to 400ºF (204ºC). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add biscuit mix and seasoning pack (1 package), cream cheese (8-ounce), sharp cheddar (1 1/4 cups), and uncooked sausage (1 pound).
Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat until mixture is evenly combined.
Using a cookie scoop, shape into 1-inch balls, squeezing sausage balls so they hold their forms. Place on baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven, until brown, about 20 to 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reached 160°F when measured with an instant-read thermometer. Best served warm.

Mixer: Use a stand mixer with a paddle to mix. The mixture will come together quickly and easily. You can also use a handheld electric mixer to get the job done.
Rolling: When forming the balls, make sure to firmly roll them in your hands, as they can fall apart if the mix is not formed well.
Scoop: You can measure the mixture with a small-sized ice cream scoop for evenly sized balls.
Cheese: I always grate the cheese by hand. This makes for a moister result.
Pork Safety: You’ll be using raw, uncooked sausage in this recipe. Make sure to follow safe pork handling practices.
- Check the temperature (should be 160°F) of your sausage balls before you pull them from the oven- particularly if you’re making from frozen. It might fool you by browning on the outside before they’re done in the middle!
Serving tips: These sausage balls are best served warm or at room temperature. If you’re putting them out on a buffet or potluck table, keep them toasty in the Crockpot.
1. Just turn on the slow cooker to ‘warm’ before you start to bake and put the piping hot balls in as they come out of the oven.
2. If your sausage is a bit greasy, line the Crockpot with a couple of layers of paper towels.
Easy Clean-Up: You can bake these directly on a baking sheet or make cleanup easier, line baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
