Simply Southern Sausage Balls with Penny Panko

Get ready to feel that warm, Southern welcome with these delicious Simply Southern Sausage Balls! Whether it’s for Thanksgiving, breakfast, or just because, this savory classic is about to get even better thanks to Penny Panko. Crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor—these are going to be your new go-to for any occasion!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup diced white onion
  • 1 lb Neese's Sausage (We love the hot version for that extra kick!)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup Penny Panko
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg

Let’s Get Cookin’:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F.
  2. Prep Your Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or give it a good spritz of nonstick spray.
  3. Mix it All Together: In a big bowl, toss in your Neese's Sausage, flour, and Penny Panko. Using your hands, combine the mixture together as much as possible.
  4. Add the Cheddar & Spices: Next, add the shredded cheddar, diced onion, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and egg. Mix until everything is well combined and looking cheesy delicious.
  5. Roll ‘Em: Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized sausage balls (or use a small scoop if you like). Place each ball on your baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pop the tray in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.

Pro Tip:

Got extra dough? No problem! Wrap it up, toss it in the freezer, and you’ve got sausage balls ready to go for later. Just bake and enjoy when the cravings hit.

Stay Cheesin’!

These sausage balls are perfect for parties, breakfast, or even as a quick snack. Serve them warm and watch your friends and family devour every bite. If you’re feeling fancy, throw on some dipping sauces or pair them with some good ol’ fashioned gravy.
