For an extra layer of flavor, try using a smoked Cheddar cheese. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture. These sausage balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Simply add a few minutes to the baking time. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the baking sheet with cooking spray, even with the parchment paper.
