Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the sausage balls from sticking and will make cleanup a breeze. Plus, the parchment paper helps them crisp up nicely.

Now it’s time to mix everything together. In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot sausage, cream cheese, queso cheddar, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and parsley. Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything together until it’s fully incorporated.

I like using my hands because it’s easier to get everything mixed well. However, if you prefer not to get your hands dirty, a spoon works just fine. The mixture should be a little sticky, but don’t worry, that’s totally normal. If it’s too sticky to handle, you can pop it in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to roll into balls.

Once your sausage mixture is ready, gradually add in the biscuit mix. This will give the sausage balls their structure and help them hold together while baking. Stir the mixture until the biscuit mix is fully combined. If it still seems a little too sticky, you can add a little extra biscuit mix until the dough is easier to handle.

Now comes the fun part – shaping the sausage balls! Use your hands to scoop out small portions of the sausage mixture (about 1 tablespoon per ball) and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on your prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave a little space between each ball so they don’t stick together while baking.

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the sausage balls for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through. The outside should be crispy, and the inside should be soft and cheesy. They’re absolutely irresistible!
