For the Sausage Balls:
- Preheat the oven to 400F.

- Form into 2" balls using a heaping tablespoon measure or a medium cookie scoop filled flat.
- Place the balls on an ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet. The balls will not spread when baking, so you can place them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake at 400F on the center rack for 20-25 minutes until browned and crispy.
-
For the Dipping Sauce:
- While the sausage balls bake, add all sauce ingredients to a small bowl and combine. Set aside until needed.
- Once the sausage balls are baked, let them cool for 5 minutes before plating and serving with the creole dipping sauce.
- Enjoy sausage balls served warm or cold. - You can make the sausage ball dough ahead and bake them up fresh for event. Store the rolled out dough balls in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake. - Sausage balls are best when prepared with freshly grated cheese rather than bagged pre-grated.
