Ingredients
  

For the Sausage Balls
  • 1 pound Ground Sausage Use raw breakfast sausage for the best binding and flavor profile.
  • 1 cup Grated Sharp Cheddar Adds a rich, cheesy flavor; swap it with mild cheddar or another cheese you adore.
  • 1 cup Biscuit Baking Mix This acts as a binder; Bisquick or similar products work well.
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt Enhances flavor; regular salt may be used, but the taste will differ.
  • 2 tablespoons Milk or Water Incorporates moisture; opt for milk alternatives if dairy-free.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Sausage Balls
  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crumble the ground sausage and combine it with the grated sharp cheddar, biscuit baking mix, seasoned salt, and milk. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F and preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Shape the Sausage Balls: Portion out the mixture and roll into smooth balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil and place the sausage balls spaced apart for air circulation.
  5. Cook to Golden Perfection: Cook the sausage balls in the air fryer for 10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Optional Crisping Step: Add an additional minute to cook for an extra crispy exterior.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the air fryer, let cool slightly, and serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
