Tips:
- Choose the right type of sausage. Breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, and chorizo are all great options for sausage cheese balls. Choose a sausage that has a flavor that you enjoy, and make sure that it is cooked through before using it in the recipe.
- Use a variety of cheeses. Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese are all classic choices for sausage cheese balls. However, you can also experiment with other types of cheese, such as pepper Jack cheese, Swiss cheese, or blue cheese. Using a variety of cheeses will give your sausage cheese balls a more complex flavor.
- Don't over-mix the dough. Over-mixing the dough will make the sausage cheese balls tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, and then stop.
- Chill the dough before frying. Chilling the dough will help the sausage cheese balls hold their shape better when they are fried. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before frying, or up to overnight.
- Fry the sausage cheese balls in hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you drop the sausage cheese balls in. Fry the sausage cheese balls until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the sausage cheese balls with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, marinara sauce, and barbecue sauce are all popular choices for dipping sausage cheese balls.
