Hint: If you are using a non-stick baking sheet then parchment paper shouldn't be necessary - the sausage balls break free really easily. You could use it though (if you prefer it for clean up reasons).

Although I used a stand mixer for mixing the sausage mixture - you could just mix by hand with a little elbow grease.

Frequently asked questions: FAQs
Typically, it's a finger food so a nice dip on the side is great, but you could also eat it with your meal. They taste great alongside mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc.
You could have cooked them too long, or the biscuit mix to wet ingredients ratio is not quite right. Perhaps more cheese?
