FAQs

Do you have to refrigerate sausage balls before cooking? ›

After you have formed your balls, store them uncooked for up to 2 days in the coolest part of your refrigerator, (usually in the back, on the bottom shelf.) Your uncooked sausage balls can also be stored in the freezer, indefinitely – but are at their best when cooked within 1 month.

In the oven, reheat the sausage balls on a foil-lined baking sheet at 400°F for 6-8 minutes. In the air fryer, reheat the sausage balls at 400°F for 4-5 minutes. You can also reheat them in the microwave on a plate for 60 seconds, but the texture won't quite be the same.

Why are my sausage balls so dry? Sausage balls can dry out if there is too much Bisquick mix in the sausage mixture or if the sausage balls were not mixed well enough. You can try adding a little bit of milk if the mixture still seems too dry. But be careful not to add too much liquid.

If you reheat food that was forgotten on the counter overnight or was left out all day, will it be safe to eat? TWO HOURS is the MAXIMUM time perishable foods should be at room temperature (ONE HOUR at temperatures 90 degrees F and higher). This INCLUDES the time they're on the table during your meal.

The best side dishes to serve with sausage balls are sauteed mushrooms, mashed sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, cheese dip, Brussels sprouts with bacon, scrambled eggs, wedge salad, yellow rice, grilled asparagus, biscuits and gravy, roasted red peppers, tomato and mozzarella salad, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, and ...

Why did my sausage balls turn out flat? This could be due to the use of pre-shredded cheese or not mixing the ingredients well. Make sure to use freshly shredded cheese and mix the ingredients thoroughly for best results.

Packaged pre-shredded cheese is coated with cellulose so it won't clump together. Well, that also means your sausage balls won't stick together when formed also. Use parchment to line the pans so they don't stick.

For most recipes, you can use a hand mixer when it calls for a stand mixer, and vice versa.

Raw sausage will stay fresh in the refrigerator for one or two days and in the freezer for one or two months. At room temperature, they will last a maximum of two hours. You can prolong the life of your fresh sausage by cooking it and storing it.

Does precooked sausage need to be refrigerated? ›

Storage. All sausage — except dry sausage — is perishable and therefore must be kept refrigerated.

Preserving Sausage by Drying

The most important factor in this method is the choice of the area where the sausages will be stored. This space should be warm, but out of sunlight. The sausages are dried by hanging them with a string. If hanging is not possible, they can also be dried wrapped in newspaper.

Best Storage

The fridge is the best place to store sausages. All raw meat should be stored at the bottom of the fridge in a clean, sealed package or container to avoid it from touching or dripping onto other things. Ensure your fridge is set between 0 and 4°C.
