Growing up in the South, it seems like there was some version of these Southern-style sausage and cheese balls gracing every family gathering, whether it was a holiday dinner, superbowl parties, or whatever else you can imagine. My two grandmothers had their versions, one stirred up from scratch and another using the Bisquick cheat recipe.
We still fought over the last ones on the plate, no matter what version, and even managed to stuff a few into pockets for later.
We don’t bake near as much since shaking up our food plan, though these Spicy Southern Sausage and Cheese Balls posted today over on the Older Bolder Life would give either grandmother’s version a run for the money, and they’re low-carb/keto compatible too. Hot damn, and you can use whatever cheese floats your boat – that’s cheddar on the left and Monterrey jack on the right below.
