Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls

I first shared a version of this recipe back in 2014. I’ve since updated and improved the recipe, so I had to share it with you! This recipe combines two of my favorite foods – Cheddar Bay Biscuits and Cream Cheese Sausage Balls! These sausage balls are highly addictive! I could not stop eating them. I loved the garlic flavor. These are great for breakfast, snacks, and parties. Heck, I could make a meal out of these things. They are dangerously delicious!

How to Make Sausage Balls with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix

These sausage balls are super easy to make with only 4 ingredients. Simply combine uncooked sausage, cream cheese, biscuit mix, and cheese. Roll into balls and bake.

I’m going to give you my secret for making sausage balls, are you ready? Use your stand mixer with the dough hook. It mixes everything quickly and easily. It also keeps your hands clean!

• If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can mix together the ingredients by hand.
• I used a box of the Red Lobster Biscuit mix for the Cheddar Bay part of the sausage balls. You can find the biscuit mix in the baking aisle at the grocery store.
• I used a roll of Jimmy Dean hot sausage. You can use any brand of breakfast sausage or Italian sausage.
• Do NOT cook the sausage. You are using the sausage raw.
• If you want spicy sausage balls, add some red pepper flakes. I call this version Firecracker Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls.
• I used sharp cheddar cheese in the sausage balls. Feel free to use any shredded cheese you prefer.
• I use a small cookie scoop to portion out the dough.
• You make the sausage mixture and shape it into balls ahead of time and refrigerate overnight.
• You can make the sausage balls ahead of time and freeze unbaked for later. I always have a bag in the freezer for a quick snack. You can bake them frozen. Just add a couple of minutes to the cooking time so they can thaw in the oven.
• For gluten-free sausage balls, use a box of the gluten-free Red Lobster biscuit mix.

What to Dip Sausage Balls In

These sausage balls are dangerously delicious. They are my go-to party appetizer. These and Crack Dip, of course! I also love them on Christmas morning! We eat the balls plain. If you like to serve them with a dipping sauce, I suggest some Homemade Ranch Dressing, BBQ sauce, honey mustard, or warm pizza sauce.
