Can I freeze sausage balls?

Yes! I recommend freezing uncooked sausage balls. They will store well in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just note that you will have to adjust the cooking time to bake a few minutes longer if baking them straight from the freezer.

What are the benefits of einkorn flour?

You don’t have to look far to find a long list that boasts all of the health benefits of einkorn flour. It is a delicious ancient grain that hasn’t been processed the same way as modern-day wheat. Packed full of nutrients, it is a great way to sneak in more protein and vitamins into your standard recipes! It has a high protein content and a much lower gluten content that is easier to digest, making it a great option for folks who are gluten sensitive.

Why did my sausage balls come out dry?

There could be a couple issues here. There may have been too much flour added (if this is the case, try adding less next time or adding a little milk). The sausage balls may have also been overcooked.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, combine sausage, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and einkorn flour.
Turn the mixer on medium-low speed, mixing thoroughly until all the ingredients are combined.
Using a medium sized cookie scoop or just your hands, begin grabbing some of the sausage mixture and rolling it into balls. Place each sausage ball about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until completely cooked through. Enjoy!

Notes

I used mild breakfast style sausage in this recipe, but you could use hot if you prefer!
I highly recommend lining your baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures that the sausage balls won’t stick to the pan once cooked, making cleanup a breeze!
Storage: Baked sausage balls will store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
If you’re feeding a crowd, this recipe easily doubles.
