- Sausage Balls (NO Bisquick! NO flour!)
1 pound sausage (mild, medium, or spicy)
1/3 cup water chestnuts, diced
1/4 cup Craisins, chopped
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 large pinch chili powder
paprika (to sprinkle on top)
Preheat oven to 375°.
Mix together all ingredients, except paprika. Use approximately three tablespoons of mixture to form balls. Place on a rack over a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and sprinkle generously with paprika. Bake 30 minutes. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce. Makes approximately 12 sausage balls.
NOTE: These can be frozen, before baking, on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Then place frozen sausage balls in Ziploc freezer bag or vacuum seal. To prepare, thaw sausage balls completely then bake following directions from above. 
As a true southerner that has made & still makes sausage balls every Christmas & New Year, I've developed my own recipe as I DO NOT like gummy, doughy sausage balls!! However, I love cheese & fruit!! Definitely gonna make these with a dab of cheese!! Tom & Melissa, yall are my favorite foodies on CZcams!! These are lovely!!😋❤️😊🙏🏻
You just made our day! What a nice compliment! Thank you so much for watching! Happy New Years!
These sound fantastic. I can’t wait to try them. Thanks for sharing them 😃Donna Cooper😃
I love Water-chestnut
It is so obvious that you two are excellent educators, I love how you instruct, with perfection, when describing a recipe. Now, I may in a minority here, but I cannot go with water chestnuts. I always pick them out in a stir fry. I looked up replacements for them, quite a few actually. I have decided to go with celery as an option. Thanks so much for having such good videos.
I was thinking chopped celery might give them a nice crunch.
I have just found your channel...I am a fan!!!
Thank you so much for saying (several times) that you like spice flavor, but not so hot you can't enjoy it.
Love, love, love your back stories on your recipes and can appreciate your emotional remembrance!
Keep up the great work!
Thank you for a delicious snack with no cheese! Those of us with dairy allergy appreciate your creative recipe.
Hope you enjoy these! Thank you so much for watching.
I put my ingredients in a large zip lock freezer bag. Zip it up and then work the ingredients all together! Takes a little work and time, but my hands stay clean!! Easy! Works great!
That's a great tip!
Or use disposable gloves?
I have a problem with disposable gloves, they keep trying to slip off! That is when I decided to use a zip lock bag and it works for me! No bowl to have to clean either! @@Scarlet-qg1xi
I love your recipes because they are always a little different then the norm, that's the sign of a good cook to take food and make it a little tastier and a little healthier. Nice simple recipes is my kind of cooking😊 thanks for sharing them with us. Hi Melissa😊good job filming.
Oh yes, I will be making some of Tom's sausage balls. They sound yummy.. Thanks for another quick and easy yummy dish. God bless, be safe and stay well.
Thank you so much for watching. We hope you enjoy these very soon.
You guys are the best. Love your videos!!
Thank you for the very sweet message! We’re so glad to have you watching!
Love that Nativity Set.
Hi Tom and Melissa I tried your sausage balls today. However, I didn't have any water chestnuts but I did have pecans. I crushed them very fine and added them. I tell you that there is no doubt these will be on our Christmas table. Thanks. ❤
How much Pecans did you use?
I've never thought of dipping sausage in jelly.
These look tasty!
shut the front door! just fixed these sausage balls and Lord how mercy they are wonderful! y'all need to open a restaurant! thank you thank you!
Water chestnuts with sausage, bacon, and bbq sauce are fantastic. My dad makes it as app for many of our gatherings. He serves them with some good cheeses and crackers
These look wonderful! I will make these very soon. Love your presentation & explanation of your recipes. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Tom and Melissa, for sharing this recipe for sausage balls. These sound amazing and cannot wait to try them. With the holidays coming up these very well may become a new favorite in our family.
Could add spinach and bacon. Love your recipe. Have to make. ❤️❤️❤️🌲🌲🌲☮️☮️☮️😁😊😃👍🖐️👌
These look delicious, tom, and melissa. And different. I like different!!!, ohio. I will make them, definitely.❤❤
Love love love your show!!! Can't believe I'm just finding you and Melissa ❤
Love that you support local Mennonite workers! Some of the best people you will ever meet and take pride in everything they do.
I am for sure going to make these !! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes..
You’re so welcome. We appreciate you watching our videos!
These look so good! Please share more of your low carb recipes. 😁
I'll make this recipe! I must keep low carb due to T2D. I'm trying to incorporate your recipes. I make cakes, etc for my hubs, kids, grandkids but I simply can't eat more than 2 tiny bites of sweets, high carb foods. I am watching all your videos- the rest of the family has to eat, lol. Thank you both.
Hate this for you. I have ignored my T2D for a year because of a sick husband who is trying to gain at least 30 lb. I HAVE got to get back to my Keto/Carni/Omad!
You are the king of the sausage balls!. Lol yours are better than the traditional way. Will go great this weekend for the U.K/Louisville game!. Go Cats!!…..
Big weekend coming up for the BBN with basketball and the Bowl Game!
I’m glad you shared your recipe for chicken salad with us. I have always wanted a detailed recipe for that. Most people just “eyeball” the ingredients. I wanted precise amounts. But the one change I will make is I will use thigh meat instead of breast meat. I don’t care for breast meat. But thank you so much for this recipe. GOD bless you and your wife!
This sounds so good! I am going to try them with some Sweet Thai Chili Sauce and maybe some Sweet Baby Ray's. Thank you for sharing your recipe! 😊
You are so welcome! We appreciate that you are watching our channel.
I'm with you, hate the biquik filling! Thank you for the recipe!
Tom, just like you, I am not a fan of sausage balls because of the flour or bisquick. I have always passed on them at a party. However, I will give these a try. Sometimes, it takes a different way of trying something. Thank you for giving us different avenues. You and your lovely wife must have been wonderful teachers. Thank you.
I use water chestnuts diced, and dried cranberries in my turkey dressing. Love them! These sausage balls look great, too - gotta try them...
P.S. Thanks for ALL the great recipes!
Hi,Tom and Melissa! Once again, another fabulous recipe. I'm definitely going to try these! I just love watching you two so much. By the way, I'd love to see your Christmas tree! Take care and God bless you both.
TY , Tom and Melissa! Another keeper recipe. I just love sitting at your table❤
You two are the best. Love all your videos
Another Wildcat fan-when I lived in Kentucky, I would get so tickled-when going to the grocery store the wildcat game would be over the loud speaker-I guess that’s how the ladies got the guys to come with them shopping!
I bought everything for sausage pinwheels and this sausage balls will be next on my list. Thanks to you and Melissa for all your wonderful recipes!!
These look super yummy. Thank you. Perfect for Super Bowl 🏈 .
They would be great for Super Bowl Parties. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for this recipe Tom and Melissa, I've been looking for a GOOD recipe and I think you have nailed it for us. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
Thank you, Fred. We are so glad to have joining us at the table. We hope you get to enjoy the sausage balls soon!
I didn’t have water chestnuts or Craisins. But I mixed up the rest.
They are ready to go in the oven as soon as it gets up to temp
I will be trying these at our next together. Thankyou so much for sharing this gem. It's looks so good. God's love, John
I have been binge watching Melissa and your videos today. I just love these. I am going to make these for christmas this year and your Frozen Cheesecake. Wow I only been watching a few months, I have fell in love with the channel, the recipes are out of this word. Be Blessed
I definitely will make and freeze
Oh my, these look so delicious, I have never made them but I'm going to make these for sure. I never like the idea of the bisquick or flour so I never made them. But I will be giving these a try. today... Thank you and God Bless you for all of your delicious food you show us how to make....
Oh my another delicious goodie to make:) I’ll eat them when I’m watching my 49ers:) tfs and God bless:)
We are so glad to hear that we are going to be a part of your football game enjoyment. Have a lovely day and enjoy the game! Merry Christmas!
Thank you for you and your wife your recipes
I can't eat anything that's hot, but I use chili powder all the time. It takes a boat load of chili powder before it gets hot. I love the flavor.
Love your videos and sausage balls!❤
Sounds like a new game night finger food that will be a hit with everyone!
Thank you, Mr. Tom, for sharing.
Oh, nice t-shirt ;-)
We hope you enjoy it!
I do not like sausage balls... any of them, BUT I am going to try these. These look so delicious!
Love your recipes. Made your Kentucky Derby Pie 👌 now I will be trying these delectable looking sausage balls .
I am just like you guys I hate a lot breading in my sausage balls! I will be trying your recipe.
We hope you enjoy them!
Hi Tom and Melissa, my husband and I Love sausage balls I will definitely be trying this version. Yummy. Merry Christmas and happy New year. ❤❤
I'm gonna have to try this one because I find the ones with bisquick or flour extremely dry. Actually threw out the batch the first time I made it l. Never tried it again. But now, with your recipe, I'm gonna try again😊
Sounds amazing!!
Looking forward to trying this recipe.
I really like sausage balls but have never cared for all the Bisquick that the recipe called for.
Thank you for sharing.
I enjoy your videos.
🙏💕
I do buffalo balls, wild turkey and pheasant balls. They are so yummy
This recipe gave me a lot of ideas for balls with different seasonings. I love the way you recipes inspire me.🤗
Love this recipe, thank you for the video. Happy New Year 🎉
We’re so glad to hear this! Have a wonderful new year!
Thanks for sharing all these recipes. I’ve already made several in preparation for holidays! Thanks again Happy Holidays from CT.
Learning that you are a teacher explains why you’re easy to follow step by step. These will be great on game night…
Love these, and will try your recipe. Thank You!
Have you ever tried little meatballs cooked in grape jelly and chili sauce. They cook in a crockpot for hours so the flavors really soak in. It also makes a nice little appetizer. I serve them with a toothpick in each so people can just tale them off a tray by the toothpick. They are really yummy too.😊
I’ve also fixed them with mustard and grape jelly. My family loves both versions.❤
Interesting 🤔 Never saw a recipe for sausage balls quite like this, but I bet they're really good because they're mostly meat. I like the idea of the craisins in them but somehow I personally want some cheese in mine. Good new idea, though, for sure👍
I will try these and love watching you cook and would love to sit at your and Melissa’s table any time!!😊❤
Made these today, they were delicious
Glad you like them! We think they are excellent. Have a very nice night and a Merry Christmas!
Game changer!
Looks yummy, I liked how you put the rack and parchment paper down. Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome! We appreciate you watching our channel!
you put in the love when you use your hands to mix something
Just found your channel and love everything I’ve seen so far. Have been looking for a sausage ball recipe and think this is exactly it! Do have a question, can you make and bake and then freeze them ? And if so , how long to reheat them?
Hey, yikes, what if that assistant sees your video. They must really have liked you. On the other hand i love your honesty.😊
I’ve been watching you for a while now. I just found this video. I’m trying to go on Keto. This video popped up. They are the best. I found my new favorite sausage ball!❤️Grandma Brenda
Love your show
My Wife and I Celebrated Our Silver Anniversary!❤❤
Congratulations!
Thanks for what you do and for sharing it with us.
Thank you for your channel! So happy I found you. Tonight we had a Tom and Melissa dinner with your salad dressing, your zesty cucumbers and your deviled eggs. All of them delicious. Gonna try Claudia Sander’s restaurant next as it is about 80 minutes from us.
Super Bowl will be blessed with your sausage balls!
My husband loves jalapeño jelly. I bet that, melted, would be good as a dip with your sausage balls.
To mix it using your Kitchen Aid stand mixer, try using the dough hook instead of the paddle.
OMG! I am soo very glad that I found your Table to sit at. I found you just in time for the Christmas sweets. I have made almost every recipe you have posted. Can not wait to make the sausage balls for Christmas. My husband and I are getting soo full sitting at your table but cannot seem to pull away from your table. Hope you and Melissa & Family have a great Christmas.
I will try this, because I like all of your ingredients ♥️
Those look amazing- going to have to try them soon
These look so good !!
I will make this recipe very soon .. thank you for your recipe ! Enjoy
These look yummy and probably
More flavorable
Thanks for sharing your nativity. I use plastic food service gloves to mix things wìth my hands. Happy New Year!
A definite must try!
Wow, those look so good. Yummy
I make my husband mix up the sausage ball, too!! 😂 those sound delicious..God bless
Thank you for a new sausage ball recipe 🥰🙏Merry Christmas Tom& Melissa looking forward to many more recipes in 2024💖💛💚Bodi
I can't wait to try your Mom's deviled egg recipe they look delicious. I know all about the sandwich spread it is so good I use to eat it on my Bologna sandwiches and still do.
Loved the video and thank you for bringing me a great memory as I was growing up as a child in Oklahoma. Thank you Tom and Melissa and God bless.
I am going to try these Thank You, love how you explain everything, I love you both!❤🙏🇺🇸😋
Tom and Melissa Keep on cooking I love the recipe!! I add just a touch of red pepper flakes. Gave it just a little heat but tasted great.
This recipe is ingenious and I can’t wait to try them (without any keto guilt)😎
We hope you love it! Thanks so much for watching.
My husband gonna love this !!!
We hope he does. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We hope you have a wonderful afternoon.
Those look so yummy.
Cranberry glaze or cranberry-orange combo would be good for holidays...👍
I've lived away from my hometown in southwestern VA for decades now, but when you said "Tennessee Pride", I sang the whole commercial. I'd love to be able to "pick up a pound or two of Tennessee Pride"!
I enjoyed your comment very much. That's a great story.
Those look amazing 🤩
Another true, deep south, southerner; agree with shannonwhite7605. Love the warm inviting atmosphere I feel when watching and listening to your YT videos. Love that you don't do the "hand jive" and get straight to the point... no fluff. Thank you both for sharing your time and wonderful recipes (just copied the better than gma's fruitcake).
I will try this, minus the water chestnuts, thank you!
If you don't like that crunch, definitely leave them add. We just really like the additional texture the water chestnuts adds to them. Thank you so much for watching our channel.
This recipe looks so good. I really wish my Daddy had written down his sausage recipe. I'd make my own sausage. I know he used red pepper and black pepper and sage too as the spices. Also salt.
Todd, try putting a dish cloth under your glass bowl so it doesn’t slide around like that. I know it’s fine to mix with your hands as long as they’re nice and clean but I always take off my wedding ring because I just do.
Very nice.
What about using a dough hook in your mixer?
Definitely going to make these. Thank you so much!
Apple butter swirled in soft cream cheese I can’t wait to cook these
