Sausage Balls with Cheddar and Parmesan
Sausage Balls with Cheddar and Parmesan, along with the rosemary and mild heat from the sausage, make the perfect combination of ingredients for moist, flavorful appetizers or breakfast entrees.

Sausage Balls in the South bring a gathering like you would not believe!
Sausage cheese balls make their appearance at the breakfast table and at most holidays and parties in the South!! They are festive, can be served with a variety of sauces, and are loved by all.

You can use Wild Boar or any Pork with these Sausage Balls. Mix up the Cheeses for Variety.
The larger you make the balls, the moister they will stay during baking, but I like them small so you can just pop them in your mouth…and my lipstick stays on! I serve mine with a mixture of Red Pepper Jelly and mustard in equal parts. You cannot believe how good that can be. If you don’t have any homemade pepper jelly, it’s easy to make, or you can get some prepared pepper jelly from the store.

These Sausage Cheese Balls are super moist with a slight spiciness and a nice saltiness from the cheese!

- Add a little hot sauce to the sausage before cooking if you are serving with a sweet-and-sour sauce.
