Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

I wonder how long these little appetizers have been around.  I think everyone can remember eating them at some point or another in their lives.  Some may say they are old-fashioned but if you ever go to a party where these are served, they are always eaten up because they are familiar to people. And folks love 'em! They haven't stood the test of time for nothing. The sausage ball has evolved some over the years but the basic recipe is almost always the same.  Sausage. Bisquick. Cheese. This particular recipe adds cream cheese to the mix to amp up the creaminess and flavor of the original Bisquick sausage ball recipe.
