For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the mixture. To prevent sticking, lightly grease your hands with cooking spray before rolling the sausage balls. These sausage balls are delicious served warm or at room temperature. They can also be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve the best texture.
