Meal Prep Breakfast Sausage Balls 🧊🔥
A genius freezer-friendly tip for hot, fresh sausage balls anytime — make a double batch and freeze half the dough!
📝 Ingredients:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups baking mix (like Bisquick)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine sausage, cheddar, baking mix, Parmesan, and garlic powder until fully mixed.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If baking now: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
✨ Freezer Meal Prep Tip:
- Follow the recipe up to step 3 (before baking).
- Place the raw sausage balls on a baking sheet — not touching — and freeze for 2–3 hours.
- Transfer frozen balls to a freezer-safe bag or container (label with date).
- To cook from frozen: Bake as usual at 375°F — add 5–8 extra minutes to the cook time.
💡 Bonus Tips: These make a great protein-packed breakfast, snack, or party appetizer. Pair with honey mustard or ranch for dipping!
