Serving Suggestions

These cream cheese Bisquick sausage balls are best served warm, straight out of the oven. You can present them on a decorative platter, garnished with fresh herbs for an appealing look. Consider serving them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or a spicy sriracha mayo, to enhance their flavor further.

For a more substantial meal, these sausage balls can be paired with a side salad or served alongside some hearty soup. They make a delightful addition to any meal, transforming an ordinary gathering into a feast.

Storage Tips

If you happen to have leftovers, storing them is easy. Place the cooled sausage balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. They can also be frozen for longer storage; just make sure to separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This will help retain their texture and flavor, making them just as delicious as when they were freshly baked.

Nutritional Information

While these cream cheese Bisquick sausage balls are a tasty treat, it's essential to be mindful of portion sizes. Each ball contains a mix of protein and fat from the sausage and cream cheese, providing a satisfying bite. However, for a healthier option, consider serving them with a side of vegetables or a light dip to balance the meal.

Always check the specific nutritional values of your ingredients, especially if you make substitutions. This way, you can enjoy your delicious appetizer while staying informed about your dietary choices.
