If you are a sausage balls fanatic (like me), check out this air fryer sausage balls recipe.
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).
Recipe variations and substitute ideas

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

How to store leftovers
Store the Cheddar Bay Sausage Balls in an airtight container, with a piece of paper towel to prevent moisture, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
These sausage balls do freeze well. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Mel's kitchen notes
I like to serve mine with a delicious ranch dressing or some honey mustard, but you could also try this Popeyes Sweet Heat Sauce Recipe - it's amazing with this appetizer.
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?
