Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork sausage
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12 oz buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Combine the sausage, cream cheese and cheddar cheese in a large bowl.
- Form into 18-20 balls.
- Place a large pot or dutch oven on the stove over medium heat.
- Add the sausage balls and sear on each side for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Once all of the balls are cooked through, transfer them to a slow cooker, then pour the buffalo sauce over the sausage balls.
- Slow cook on low 3-4 hours, or on high 1-2 hours.
Notes
- Instead of searing the balls in a pot on the stove, you can also sear them in the oven. Preheat oven to 375°F, place the sausage balls on a foil lined baking sheet and into the oven for 15 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker.
- These sausage balls can be frozen for up to 4 months. Follow steps 1-4, then place the sausage balls in a freezer-safe plastic bag or container and into the freezer.
- Leftover sausage balls will stay good in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
- To reheat leftover sausage balls, either place them back in the slow cooker on low for 1 hour, reheat them in the microwave on high for 1 minute or reheat them in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
