Spicy Sausage & Cheese Balls Recipe

Every Christmas we have Sausage & Cheese Balls around my house. They are a stable on Christmas Eve Morning – but also make a great appetizer. It combines some of my favorite things! But with this recipe I took a standard Sausage & Cheese Balls recipe and kicked it up to a whole, new level by adding some spice and getting them out on the smoker. Spicy Sausage & Cheese Balls Recipe For starters I trade the regular sausage for hot sausage. Then I added Fresno Peppers, Killer Hogs AP Seasoning and cream cheese. Making a Spicy Sausage & Cheese Balls Recipe Then instead of cooking them in the oven, we got them on cast iron and got them on the pellet grill. You can cook this on any pit, you just need to hold it steady at 400 for 20-25 minutes. And I like to flip the sausage balls halfway through the cook so they get brown on all sides.

    The Fresno peppers sound fun and we’ll have to give those a try our next batch. Thanks!

    Instead of the cast iron pan I would suggest using one of your chicken racks. You won’t need to turn the balls nor will the bottoms burn. A little bit of the sausage ball will get caught and stuck on the rack (even with a heavy coating of Pam spray) when they are done but it’s well worth it if you don’t want the sausage sitting in its own juices.
