Thank you. My mother in law used to make these every Christmas. She passed away and we have the recipe but it didn’t turn out as good last year. I think I didn’t keep it light and uncompressed. I think these tips will bring a sentimental treat this year. Thank you!

For those who ask about grated cheese, did you know it’s coated with cornstarch to keep it from sticking together? You will never get the same results substituting it for fresh grated cheese in any recipe.
I love your teaching methods and your voice is amazing. You should read audiobooks ❤️

I’ve made these for years but……. Your recipe isn’t new but …. Your technique made a huge difference in taste and texture. Thanks for your video.

Nice simple recipe! I've been looking for a good recipe like my Grandmother used to make. We lost it when she passed. Anyway we will be trying these this year!
Thank you for sharing yours! Merry Christmas!

This is a great recipe with good tips too. The milk helps soften it which keeps it from being too dry. Thanks for a great presentation !

My mom used to make these around the holidays and i honestly forgot about that and how much i enjoyed these until i saw your video. I'm going to make some for my family and carry on the tradition. 😀

Very good! Thank you for writing the ingredients and instructions under the video. I surely appreciate this extra work you do.😀

My mother makes these and I love them! She makes a very simple dip to go with them by simply combining a little mayo & mustard (proportions to your own taste).

Mr. Click, I’ve been making sausage cheese balls for more years than I care to count. I tried your method and exact ingredients tonight (no airbake pan, though) with excellent results. Thank you for sharing your recipe and technique. Grating your own cheese makes a huge difference. Also the higher temperature (I usually use 350). May I respectfully point out that the Bisquik packet is 7.5 oz and not 8.5 oz. All the best to you and yours. Guess whose recipe I’ll be using on Christmas? 😊

I have been doing my sausage balls all wrong all of these years. Lol Thank you for the tips regarding the looseness of kneading and the added milk. I am also going to start grating my own cheese.

Thank you for sharing your tips! I have made A LOT of sausage balls, and your method is SPOT ON! I sometimes add a sprinkle of dried herbs or chili flakes depending on my mood. Or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese as well. You can't go wrong with sausage balls--except if you don't follow your mixing advice! : )

These turned out perfect. Thank you for helping me understand the proper way to assemble these. Love your channel!!

[tworivers]

Thank you for this video! This recipe takes me back! My Grandmother used to make these on special occasions.

Thanks for the how to trick to make it wonderful. Thanks, Jo Ann from Mississippi

Don't use pre-shreaded cheese. It is coated with stuff to keep it separated and it will not melt as well. More work, more cleanup, but worth it.

[ashleyadams]

I watched several videos and chose yours to make. I have never had these and they were wonderful! Some of my guests who requested these said they were the best they ever had. Thank you!

[staceyrobinson]

I really enjoyed your instruction! Im making these for the first time today to take to a family dinner and im super excited that I learned your light and airy trick! I know they are gonna be wonderful 👏 thanks Ken 😊

[diedrapayne]

Thanks for the baking tip . I make these with Seasoned (sage) sausage and add a little pepperoni sometimes. I also buy grated cheese bc I'm lazy ! My family loves these!

THANK YOU for this recipe and demonstration. Using some pre-measured ingredients is the only way I have time to cook anything. I dislike cutting up sausage, so getting the even patties already cut and assembled is perfect for me. I will make these WAY more than Thanksgiving and Christmas.

[peggooo]

I am skeptical about my ability to copy your technique. I’ve made delicious, yet very dense, sausage balls for many years now. It will be interesting to see just how light and airy I can make them this time. Thanks so much for your fine demonstration.
