I grew up in the foothills of Appalachia in Southwestern Virginia in the 70’s. I lost my momma last Christmas, and so many things I see this season remind me of her. There are a few recipes we would make every Christmas, and sausage balls is one of them! I don’t think a year went by without us going to the store to get the perfect package of sausage and a “fresh” box of bisquick. Even after 50 years of making these with mom, her last year with us, she and I were still pondering the best method of mixing the ingredients together. I enjoyed watching you make these traditional snacks…and I hope 50 years from now my own children will still be making them! 🎄 Merry Christmas!
I am so sorry about your dear Mom! My Mom is gone too, many years though... I know the feeling.. May God comfort you during this season and may your memories make you smile.. God bless you!
Awe, bless ur heart @Paula Phillips, I know ur heartbreak as my Mom passed this past year too. So on my bad days I'll try to remember to pray for u too. I love that ur planning to keep her spirit alive with a cherished recipe. Much love & prayers sent from chilly Michigan! 🙏🧎♀️❤
Sorry for your loss. I’m right there with you. I miss my mother around this time. I have her recipes to remember her by and am thankful she had a gift of cooking to share with her family. Merry Christmas to you!
@@sandicrounse5273 yes, I know the Richlands area! I grew up near Ferrum, VA! I live in upstate NY now, but I miss that area very much!!! Have a very Merry Christmas!
What a weird little Christmas Season routine I've stared: I'm watching you cook and eat while I'm cooking and eating at my house. LOL! The sausage and dipping sauce looks delicious. Good video. THX!
THANK YOU! My aunt (mom's sister) used to bring these at Christmas time. I had forgotten about them until I saw this. This channel is like being back home real quick. Thank You so much. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!!!!!
They look really good, Tipper! I’ve only been watching your channel for a couple of months and I love your cooking videos and ones with Matt or Granny. I loved the video yesterday of Matt frying the potatoes and deer in the bag with so much flour! I like how you say milk as ‘meelk’ and a ‘bad place’ when there is a spot on vegetables you’re preparing. The Appalachian accent is so good! I live in the north of Australia (my local area gets 300 days of sunshine a year) and I guess I’d have an accent to you guys too! 🇦🇺 Some of my favourite words you say are Papaw, okrie, chocolate gravy, ramps, Postum, etc. Never heard them before watching your videos.👍🏼
I love sausage balls! I make mine with turkey sausage since I can’t eat pork sausage. I also found it easier to mix everything in my standup mixer. Never tried with a sauce before, might have to try it
I make mine with a lb of hot pork sausage and a lb of sage sausage. Oh my goodness the smell of the sage and sausage in the oven is " get out good "!!!!! I have learned over the years because I use both hands in The mixing part to take a piece of parchment paper put some olive oil in it and occasionally put both hands flat on it --- helps to roll the balls up better plus gives a little moisture so they are not so dry and a little golden brown to the outside. I just love the smell when they are cooking. I made 2 batches at Thanksgiving. They got gone fast. I turn them also while they cooking so they get even on all sides
I love sausage balls, but I've never made them! We used to have them growing up every once in a while, they were such a treat for us! Never even thought of a dipping sauce for them at all, but this sauce sounds amazing!
I’ll have to try adding Parmesan cheese and everyone would probably love your dipping sauce. Thank you for sharing. I’m just getting started on my baking and candy. I was going to make your haystack candy but my store was out of the Chinese noodles. I’m making crockpot candy stead. Pretty easy too. I enjoy all your good recipes. God bless.❤️✝️🎄
This sausage ball recipe itself looks better than the one I had I will definitely be giving it a try and the dipping sauce too looks real simple and I like a little mustard with my sausage. One of the channels I watch has taken to making sausage balls for breakfast for her children and freezing them she actually serves them with a packaged sausage gravy mix for dipping for the breakfast I doubt that you'd make the gravy from a mix but all things are possible I was thinking of about for Grandpa for his breakfast that might be a good little addition. I actually thought it sounded good too for make-ahead breakfast. She even makes the gravy in a pyrex measuring cup in the microwave. It's Amy Maryon if you would like to check out the channel and see how she does it she has also taken to putting cream cheese in her sausage balls.
those look Yummy I make Meatballs not frozen I buy 2 pounds of hamburger and I kinda sorta precook them not all the way in the oven but I take a glass jar of Chili sauce and a jar of grape jelly can be off brand and cook them for about 7 to 8 hours in crock pot and the sauce gets thick and they are really good
Yum! We have always made sausage rolls at Christmas time, just ground sausage or breakfast style links rolled up in a simple flour/butter/water pastry and baked, now I want to try these too!
I do not know how to make sausage balls. I know how to eat them and I love them. I used to get to enjoy sausage balls at family reunions. I had an aunt who made them. I could not stop once I started. Now most of that is in the past as I am old nowadays. It is time for me to learn how so I can enjoy them again.
I have made these sausage balls for years. We just eat them plain or with jelly. I've never tried jelly with mustard, but I will now. Thanks for sharing.
They look delicious. So simple, easy and good. Freezing and warming them up and putting an egg and biscuit or some toast is an excellent idea. Sounds like exactly what I've been searching for as a quick snack or a meal when I don't want to cook.
My Mama use to put lil butter on them when they were almost done. It added nice flavor and browned them a bit more. You sure made some good ones. Great at Christmas 🎄 thanks. I'll share this with my Chruch friend. 😊 Sause looks great. We will try that sauce.
I have actually never made sausage balls but I'm thinking this is the year to do it as we have family coming to stay for Christmas weekend. Thanks for the recipe, Tipper 😉
Until I started watching last year I has never heard of ir had sausage balls. I believe I will try them for Christmas morning brunch. Thank you for sharing! God bless you and yours 🙏❤🙏❤
We just had sausage balls and dip with your recipe. Really good. Thanks.. This weather reminds us of how it use to be. Cold winters. From NW fla. Merry Christmas
I'm sure the dipping sauce puts the sausage balls to another level,for me jelly and sausage go hand in hand. Thanks Tipper and Corie for sharing another great recipe 🙂.
I love the addition of parmesan.....for 45 years....I have made cocktail winners with a sauce recipe I got from Current - a mail order card and gift company....it consists of current jelly and mustard....very similar....but apple jelly is probably much more affordable....current jelly is a little pricey
I just love your channel!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do videos. I’m in the foothills of western NC so I’m close to the blue ridge mountains. So much of what you share brings back childhood memories especially ones with my grandmother. ❤
Oh my! THAT looked absolutely delicious! I am going to try this with my granddaughters next time we have a movie night! The dipping sauce sounds wonderful. Thanks for the recipe. I've never had these.
Your video is perfect timing! I’m taking sausage balls to an event this week and will have to whip up your sauce to go along with them. Thanks for another great video!
I love the recipes that you’ve been sharing. My son is coming home from the military very soon, for a visit, he’ll love these sausage balls. Thank you so much.
I am new to this channel and I am totally in love with it. I have been watching all of your videos and you look such a down-to- earth family, the whole world would need more genuine people like you are. Also love your accent, your life style and I am appreciating the Appalachian culture so much. A huge big up to you and your awesome family. Keep up with the outstanding job!!!Greetings from Milan (very close to the Po valley)
You're sausage balls and dipping sauce look delicious. Please let Matt know that the crispy fried potatoes "a la Matt" I ate while watching this video surely hit the spot. I'm now all set to tackle the three to four batches of old-fashioned peanut brittle I make every Christmas as gifts for family and friends. I do not think of or apply this overused word much this side of the Pearly Gates, but the fried potatoes Matt showed me how to cook were perfect!
My friends grandma used to make these and they were so delicious! She never had a dipping sauce, so now I will have to make some and make the sauce to go with them. :)
Thank u Tipper, this is such an easy recipe but economical too. I don't have apple jelly so was wondering if u ever used maple or pancake syrup mixed into mustard? Going to make them & freeze for breakfast like ur Pap does, that sounds wonderful! Thank u again, I've been so tight in my food budget lately but doesn't help that eggs are almost $5/dozen due to a bird flu we had in Michigan. Bless ur kind thoughtful heart! ❤
@@CelebratingAppalachia I'm so anxious to make them up, sausage is thawing in frig & my house will smell homey tomorrow during the blizzard we're gonna have + YEAH!!
This is not something I grew up with. But they sound amazing. I have a pound of sausage thawing in the fridge right now and bisquick in the cupboard. I may just try these today. My husband and I are having a very hard time getting into the spirit this year. This is our first year alone. I lost my family about 18 years ago, my husbands family so graciously opened their hearts to me and I was blessed to have another mom and dad to love. We lost both of them in the last couple of years. Christmas was Matt’s (my husband) moms favorite holiday. The entire house would be decorated. Her last Christmas she was non ambulatory, we set up a small Christmas tree in her room as well as the large one in the family room. We turned her bed so that it faced the window and set up all of the blow up christmas characters facing her window. So thank you for sharing your family and your joy of the season. I am hoping by next christmas we can walk into the garage and unpack the Christmas decor so lovingly made by Matt’s mom and not start crying.
@@CelebratingAppalachia I appreciate your kind words. I know we will be better by next year. Especially as we are selling our home and moving in an easterly direction. New home to make more memories in. Besides, I get to enjoy Christmas vicariously through you and your lovely family. Thank you for sharing.
I got the recipe for these many years ago from someone I worked with. I haven't made them in years but the recipe I had was just bisquick, cheese and sausage. I think the addition of parmesan would make them better. Everyone loved them and they never lasted long. I'll have to make them again.
I love these, but I’ve never seen a dipping sauce fir them..I’ll definitely be trying this…I usually make mine similar to yours but I don’t use Parmesan….I’ve recently seen a recipe that uses Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix instead of bisquick…I going to try it because I recently bought the mix at Sam’s (cause I make a chicken casserole & use that mix on top)…thank you for sharing all of the favorites you make for your family!!
It's not Christmas Eve here without the sausage balls!! I've never tried the dipping sauce but that sure looks tasty, so will give the sauce a try this year.
Oh, yumma YUMMA! 🧑🎄 Love me some Sausage Balls and eager to try out this easy dipping sauce too. Bring a dish parties are coming up and this is PERFECT TIMING. Thank you, Tipper and Corie.
Aww man! Y'all are killing me. I'm so hungry right now and I know I'll have to wait another 10-11 days before my mom makes sausage balls. I would say that of all the holiday specialties that she makes, sausage balls would be the most preferred one between me, my brother, my sister, and my(1.5 year deceased) dad. My mouth is salivating. Thanks alot Tipper.🤦♂️
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you for the sentiment. But it wasn't a sad event. He lived a good long life and Jesus called him home at exactly the right time.✝️🙏
@@CelebratingAppalachia No need to respond, but you and Matt should be tucking in about now. I absolutely didn't expect a response to a response to a response.😉
Great video as always. Cannot even begin to count how many times I've eaten sausage ball. Try the sause sometime using grape jelly. Had some one time that had bottled taco sauce mixed with the jelly, mild taco sauce, that was good also.
Sausage, cheese, I'm in! This time of the year our family makes a cheese ball and we munch on that with crackers. I enjoyed watching you make these. Have a good evening. C
Yummy! Gotta try this soon. I don't usually have apple jelly around, usually apricot or plum, mine's all store bought but I imagine any would be good. I'll let you know when I do it. The only jelly I ever made was several years ago my son was on a habanero pepper kick so I adapted a green pepper recipe with yellow and red peppers and habaneros and it was really good, sweet And hot. I might try that. Well, that's a mighty ambitious might. lol
How interesting this recipe is, and so many comments from people who have made these over the years. I’m in Minnesota and don’t ever recall seeing or hearing of this recipe. It’s a lot of Bisquick! They must be very tender when done. Thank you for sharing this unique recipe. Merry Christmas. 🎄🎁
The first time I ever tried sausage balls was way back in the late seventies when a bunch of young service families got together for Christmas. A young lady from Kentucky made these, although I'm certain she did not add Parmesan cheese. Thank you for reminding me how tasty they are and for including a dipping recipe. I so enjoy all of your videos
Delicious recipe! I make a dipping sauce similar to the one for the sausage balls, but I use grape jelly and yellow mustard. Make sure it's jelly and not jam. It's a absolutely wonderful dipping sauce for ham! Christmas is almost upon us and I'm hoping this holiday season will find you and yours peace and happiness.
Hi Tipper, your dipping sauce is how I eat a sausage biscuit. I put mustard and jelly on the biscuit then add the sausage. Lol. I love sausage balls...I could hurt you over them. Haha. Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely love these! The recipe I grew up with is a bit different, though. It's 1 1/2 cups biscuit mix, 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (I usually use extra sharp), 1 pound sausage, garlic powder and crushed red pepper to taste, milk as/if needed. The way we always made them was cooking the sausage first and then mixing in everything else with the sausage grease being the main thing binding it together as a dough, but adding milk if it was still too dry. I'll have to try not cooking the sausage next time to see if I like that better. I also need to tell you about a variation that came to me in a dream on New Year's Eve years ago. (Really!) When I woke up, I immediately went and made them. Everything's almost the same, but reduce the sausage to a half pound and add in a half pound of bacon that's been fried up and crumbled.
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! I love sausage balls in any way you can cook them! My Aunt and my Mom always made 'Swedish Meatballs '. It was regular or Italian Meatballs and grape jelly and chil such. They are so AMAZING! We served them at every family holiday, family reunion and weddings that we catered. Everyone always asked for the recipe! Thank you so much again! God bless you all!❤💥🍽🙏
Those look good Tipper. For Christmas, do yall do divinity (the candy)? Or punch bowl cake? I about married this old girl (back in high school 85-89) for bringing me punch bowl cake, js. Or tiger butter? The love of my life (before she crushed my soul, the heifer) used to make me tiger butter a lot- made me a happy Fatman. Now excuse me, I gotta go figure out what keifer water is.
@@CelebratingAppalachia tiger butter is a type of quick fudge made from peanut butter, chocolate, and almond bark (white stuff), basically you nuke it in the microwave, pour it in layers and stir it to make streaks. It is too good. You should try it, or get one of your girls to. There are recipes online, but it only has 3 ingredients, if it says more than that it is wrong. If you make puch bowl cake, send me some. 😁
Duuuuude, Apple jelly and mustard, who would have thought that'd be such a good sauce?! I made it to go along with my New Year's sausage balls (btw, yours look amazing!) and I loved it and so did the fam! I've been calling it "Appalachian Sauce" since you introduced it to me so thank you for the new recipe!
My sweetie is vegetarian, but I haven’t seen a recipe recently demonstrated that I’ve never prepared before that I now want to prepare. I have a pound of pork sausage in the freezer that I’m going to try this recipe out with. That looks *so* yummy, I could almost smell it from here. Thanks again for sharing! ☮️❤️🐾
My wife made something similar. Everybody loved them but I wasn't thrilled. Meat and sweet don't seem right to me. Yvonne also made cooked those little cocktail weenees in a grape jelly, mustard and cocktail sauce. I wasn't fond of those either and once again I was in the minority. I don't like applesauce and pork. I don't like a honey glaze on ham, or turkey or chicken. Guess I'm just weird, huh?
I've heard about these my whole life, but I've never tried them, so this will be my year. My husband and I are going to my daughter's inlaws house for Christmas brunch. I'm wondering if you thing these can be eaten at room temperature and would they be as tasty? If not, I'll make them just for the hubs and I as a treat for Christmas morning. Thanks for sharing Tipper, you always have such amazing recipes, and I always want to try them.
@@CelebratingAppalachia Oh Tipper, I made them this evening, my husband will be having scrambled eggs and sausage balls for dinner. I didn't have apple jelly, but I had apple cider preserves so I used that instead, delicious.
I used to make sausage balls every year. Mine were so misshapen we started calling them sausage wads. Lol I’ve never heard of the dipping sauce. I’ll have to try it.
I grew up in the foothills of Appalachia in Southwestern Virginia in the 70’s. I lost my momma last Christmas, and so many things I see this season remind me of her.

This recipe appears to be better than the one I've used. And that dipping sauce is a brilliant idea.
I wonder how dijon mustard and the apple jelly would taste? These look delicious!
Hey Tipper! 😍
😀 Hey!
Aww man! Y'all are killing me. I'm so hungry right now and I know I'll have to wait another 10-11 days before my mom makes sausage balls. I would say that of all the holiday specialties that she makes, sausage balls would be the most preferred one between me, my brother, my sister, and my(1.5 year deceased) dad. My mouth is salivating. Thanks alot Tipper.🤦♂️
Thank you Ryan!! I'm so sorry you lost your dad!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you for the sentiment. But it wasn't a sad event. He lived a good long life and Jesus called him home at exactly the right time.✝️🙏
@@ryanjustice2670 That is wonderful! The most we can all hope for 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia No need to respond, but you and Matt should be tucking in about now. I absolutely didn't expect a response to a response to a response.😉
I really appreciate you sharing these delicious, easy recipes Tipper. Thank you.
Great video as always. Cannot even begin to count how many times I've eaten sausage ball. Try the sause sometime using grape jelly. Had some one time that had bottled taco sauce mixed with the jelly, mild taco sauce, that was good also.
Sausage, cheese, I'm in! This time of the year our family makes a cheese ball and we munch on that with crackers. I enjoyed watching you make these. Have a good evening. C
Yummy! Gotta try this soon. I don't usually have apple jelly around, usually apricot or plum, mine's all store bought but I imagine any would be good. I'll let you know when I do it.
The only jelly I ever made was several years ago my son was on a habanero pepper kick so I adapted a green pepper recipe with yellow and red peppers and habaneros and it was really good, sweet And hot. I might try that. Well, that's a mighty ambitious might. lol
Hope you enjoy! I think any jelly would work 😀
Your videos continue to be a real celebration of Appalachia and family!
Thank you for sharing all you do. I have to throttle myself on sausage balls! Or else I over indulge and get heartburn.
How interesting this recipe is, and so many comments from people who have made these over the years. I’m in Minnesota and don’t ever recall seeing or hearing of this recipe. It’s a lot of Bisquick! They must be very tender when done. Thank you for sharing this unique recipe. Merry Christmas. 🎄🎁
The first time I ever tried sausage balls was way back in the late seventies when a bunch of young service families got together for Christmas. A young lady from Kentucky made these, although I'm certain she did not add Parmesan cheese. Thank you for reminding me how tasty they are and for including a dipping recipe. I so enjoy all of your videos
I don’t put parm in mine either . Several ways to make them
My recipe is just like yours, but doesn't have parmesan. I will be adding that- so thank you!
Delicious recipe! I make a dipping sauce similar to the one for the sausage balls, but I use grape jelly and yellow mustard. Make sure it's jelly and not jam. It's a absolutely wonderful dipping sauce for ham! Christmas is almost upon us and I'm hoping this holiday season will find you and yours peace and happiness.
Thank you Susan 😀
Hi Tipper, your dipping sauce is how I eat a sausage biscuit. I put mustard and jelly on the biscuit then add the sausage. Lol. I love sausage balls...I could hurt you over them. Haha. Thank you for sharing.
Yummy! Looks so delish. Can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you!
I absolutely love these! The recipe I grew up with is a bit different, though. It's 1 1/2 cups biscuit mix, 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (I usually use extra sharp), 1 pound sausage, garlic powder and crushed red pepper to taste, milk as/if needed. The way we always made them was cooking the sausage first and then mixing in everything else with the sausage grease being the main thing binding it together as a dough, but adding milk if it was still too dry. I'll have to try not cooking the sausage next time to see if I like that better.
I also need to tell you about a variation that came to me in a dream on New Year's Eve years ago. (Really!) When I woke up, I immediately went and made them. Everything's almost the same, but reduce the sausage to a half pound and add in a half pound of bacon that's been fried up and crumbled.
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! I love sausage balls in any way you can cook them! My Aunt and my Mom always made 'Swedish Meatballs '. It was regular or Italian Meatballs and grape jelly and chil such. They are so AMAZING! We served them at every family holiday, family reunion and weddings that we catered. Everyone always asked for the recipe! Thank you so much again! God bless you all!❤💥🍽🙏
Tipper I enjoy your cooking reminds me of old days I also enjoy watching Matt country boys cook the same all over y'all keep up the good work.
Those look good Tipper. For Christmas, do yall do divinity (the candy)? Or punch bowl cake? I about married this old girl (back in high school 85-89) for bringing me punch bowl cake, js. Or tiger butter? The love of my life (before she crushed my soul, the heifer) used to make me tiger butter a lot- made me a happy Fatman.
Now excuse me, I gotta go figure out what keifer water is.
I love punchbowl cake and divinity 😀 I've never heard of tiger butter though
@@CelebratingAppalachia tiger butter is a type of quick fudge made from peanut butter, chocolate, and almond bark (white stuff), basically you nuke it in the microwave, pour it in layers and stir it to make streaks. It is too good. You should try it, or get one of your girls to. There are recipes online, but it only has 3 ingredients, if it says more than that it is wrong.
If you make puch bowl cake, send me some. 😁
@@williamsuttle3645 😀 Sounds good!
I grew up on sausage balls, and yes mom had us kids roll them up. We never had a dipping sauce though. Gonna try it this Christmas. Thanks!
Thanks Tipper! Looks yummy 👍🙏
Looks like I'm gonna need to add this appetizer to my New Year Eve family game night.
I’m glad to see you post this. We always buy the frozen Tennessee Pride ones. Love this channel!
Duuuuude, Apple jelly and mustard, who would have thought that'd be such a good sauce?! I made it to go along with my New Year's sausage balls (btw, yours look amazing!) and I loved it and so did the fam! I've been calling it "Appalachian Sauce" since you introduced it to me so thank you for the new recipe!
Wonderful! Glad you liked it 😀
Very interesting, simple, and tasty anytime of year kind of treat Ms Tipper! How may those sausage balls work out on an offset smoker? -Bob...
😀
I swear, Tipper...I love your cooking videos. I wish UA-cam had smellovision...lol
Thank you 😀
My sweetie is vegetarian, but I haven’t seen a recipe recently demonstrated that I’ve never prepared before that I now want to prepare. I have a pound of pork sausage in the freezer that I’m going to try this recipe out with. That looks *so* yummy, I could almost smell it from here. Thanks again for sharing! ☮️❤️🐾
There are non-flesh sausages available. Gimme Lean is a brand found in lots of grocery stores.
@@davidhensley76 Those are *really* bad for human health and the environment. Stop consuming and promoting agribusiness products!
Looks delicious! Will have to give this a go
My wife made something similar. Everybody loved them but I wasn't thrilled. Meat and sweet don't seem right to me. Yvonne also made cooked those little cocktail weenees in a grape jelly, mustard and cocktail sauce. I wasn't fond of those either and once again I was in the minority.
I don't like applesauce and pork. I don't like a honey glaze on ham, or turkey or chicken. Guess I'm just weird, huh?
You're not weird Papaw 😀 You just have your own tastes 😀
I've heard about these my whole life, but I've never tried them, so this will be my year. My husband and I are going to my daughter's inlaws house for Christmas brunch. I'm wondering if you thing these can be eaten at room temperature and would they be as tasty? If not, I'll make them just for the hubs and I as a treat for Christmas morning. Thanks for sharing Tipper, you always have such amazing recipes, and I always want to try them.
You are so kind-thank you 😀 They are good at room temperature 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Oh Tipper, I made them this evening, my husband will be having scrambled eggs and sausage balls for dinner. I didn't have apple jelly, but I had apple cider preserves so I used that instead, delicious.
@@TheMtggrl Wonderful 😀
Oh boy Tipper your sausage balls are hypnotizing they look so good yhnks for sharing .hi corie .
I used to make sausage balls every year. Mine were so misshapen we started calling them sausage wads. Lol I’ve never heard of the dipping sauce. I’ll have to try it.
😀
Mmmmm! Those look tasty and a good addition to our Christmas Eve feast of appetizers. Thanks Tipper
That is the same recipe I use, and I can’t wait to try your dipping sauce. Thanks for the idea of freezing them for breakfast!
Yummy! I’ll have to try that❤️
I fix them at Christmas also, love them, I'm gonna try your dip, that sounds good!
