⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Notes

Recipe Variations:

- Add a Little Spice: Increase the cayenne or add a pinch of crushed red pepper for more heat.

- Switch up the Cheese: Try substituting pepper jack for extra flavor or mild cheddar for a softer taste.

- Herb Lovers: Add a sprinkle of fresh chives (my favorite!) or parsley to the mix for freshness.

Freezer Instructions: When it's sausage ball season, I make a double batch of this recipe and Cream Cheese Cheese Balls - one to cook immediately and one to keep in my freezer. I mix everything up, scoop out the batter, and flash freeze it on a sheet pan for about 15 minutes. Then, I remove the balls, pop them into a freezer bag, and freeze them. When needed, I place them on the sheet pan, let them thaw, and bake them in the oven.

Leftovers: These sausage balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
