Cooking Tips & Tricks
Use Freshly Shredded Cheese: Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that can affect the texture
Don’t Overmix the Dough: Overworking the dough can make the sausage balls dense instead of light and tender
Space Evenly on the Baking Sheet: Give them room to cook evenly and develop a golden crust
Bake on a Wire Rack: This helps grease drain away for a crispier texture
