Looking for the perfect party snack or game-day bite? These Pimento Sausage Balls bring the heat and the comfort, mixing Kountry Boys’ savory pan sausage with classic Southern pimento cheese flavor. They’re quick to make, easy to love and guaranteed to disappear fast.

If you’ve ever been to a Texas get-together, you know there’s always one dish that steals the spotlight — the one folks can’t stop hovering over until the tray’s empty. These sausage balls are exactly that. They’re the bite-size kind of comfort food that fits anywhere, from church potlucks and tailgates to holiday brunches and lazy Sunday mornings.

Made with Kountry Boys Pan Sausage, biscuit mix and creamy pimento cheese, this recipe hits that sweet spot between nostalgic and new. It’s the taste of home, baked up with a little Texas flair and just enough kick to keep things interesting.

A Southern Staple with a Texas Twist

Sausage balls have long been a favorite across the South. They’re simple, hearty and meant to share — the kind of snack that shows up at every family gathering because they never let you down. But this version goes one step further by folding in smooth, tangy pimento cheese for a burst of creamy flavor that melts into every bite.

Kountry Boys Pan Sausage brings the heart of this recipe. Go with Original if you want that classic, smoky flavor or reach for Hot if you like a little spice with your comfort food. Either way, you’ll get that signature savory taste that’s made right here in Texas. The Red Lobster biscuit mix keeps the texture light and tender, while the pimento cheese melts through everything, adding rich color and flavor that make each ball pop.

When these bake, the smell alone is worth the effort — smoky sausage, buttery biscuit mix and melted cheese coming together in a way that feels familiar and a little irresistible.

Simple Steps, Big Payoff

These Pimento Sausage Balls are the kind of recipe you’ll find yourself coming back to over and over again. All you need is one bowl, one baking sheet and about half an hour.

Start by preheating your oven to 375°. In a large mixing bowl, combine one package of Kountry Boys Pan Sausage (Original or Hot), the full pouch of biscuit mix and a generous helping of pimento cheese. Mix it all together with your hands or a sturdy spoon until you’ve got a smooth, sticky dough. The sausage should be evenly distributed, and the cheese should streak through the mix like ribbons of gold.

To make rolling easier, spray your hands lightly with non-stick spray. Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, spacing them evenly on a greased baking sheet so they have room to brown. You’ll want to keep them roughly the same size so they bake evenly.

Pop them in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes until they’re golden brown on top and slightly crisp around the edges. The smell that fills the kitchen — warm sausage, melted cheese, a touch of spice — will draw a crowd before you even open the oven door.

Once they’re baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. The inside stays soft and cheesy while the outside develops that light biscuit crunch that makes these bites so satisfying.

Tips for Perfect Batches

Part of the magic of this recipe is how forgiving it is. It’s hard to mess up sausage balls, but a few small tweaks can make them even better.

• Use a scoop. A small cookie scoop helps keep the sausage balls uniform, so they bake evenly and look great on the tray.
• Keep your cheese cold. Chilled pimento cheese mixes more easily and holds its texture better while baking.
• Line with parchment. This helps them brown evenly without sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
• Make ahead. You can prep and roll the sausage balls a day early, store them in the fridge, and bake them right before serving.

Want to add some heat? Use Kountry Boys Hot Pan Sausage for a spicy kick or mix in a spoonful of diced jalapeños. Prefer things mild and creamy? Stick with Original and double up on the pimento cheese for a smoother, meltier texture. These are the kinds of recipes that let you experiment — no rules, just good flavor.

Serving ’Em Up Texas-Style

These Pimento Sausage Balls are the definition of shareable. They’re perfect on a platter at a holiday party, next to the chips and queso on game day or stacked high for a Saturday brunch. You can serve them warm, room temperature or straight from the fridge — they taste great either way.

If you want to dress them up, serve with a dipping sauce on the side. Ranch, spicy mayo or honey mustard all pair beautifully. A drizzle of hot honey takes them from savory to slightly sweet, while barbecue sauce gives them that familiar Texas smokehouse feel.

They also make a great addition to breakfast. Pair a few with scrambled eggs and coffee or tuck them inside a biscuit for a grab-and-go sandwich. Leftovers (if you’re lucky enough to have any) reheat perfectly in the oven or air fryer for a quick snack later in the week.

These little bites may be simple, but they’ve got everything you want in a Texas appetizer — smoky, cheesy, hearty and gone before you can blink.
