For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture. To avoid greasy sausage balls, drain any excess fat from the cooked sausage before mixing with the other ingredients. These sausage balls can be made ahead of time and frozen. Simply bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Try different cheeses! Pepper jack, Gruyere, or a blend of Italian cheeses work wonderfully. If you don't have buttermilk baking mix, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
