Storing and Reheating Tips

Nutritional Information

These sausage balls provide a satisfying snack that is rich in protein, thanks to the sausage and cream cheese. However, like all indulgent treats, it's important to enjoy them in moderation. Each ball packs a flavorful punch, making them a great option for sharing at gatherings without overindulging.

If you're looking for lighter alternatives, consider using turkey sausage or low-fat cream cheese. This small change can help reduce the overall calorie count while still delivering that beloved creamy and savory flavor.
