Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and Cut in the cream cheese and the shortening into the flour until it is crumbly.
Add the sausage and begin incorporating it into the flour using your hands or a stand mixer. Add in the grated cheese and work it into the mixture till it is evenly combined.
Using a mini ice cream scoop, scoop out the mixture and roll it into a ball in the palm of your hands. Place them on the baking sheet.
Bake them for 20 minutes until they are golden brown. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley if desired, then serve!

Always use good sausage. Since the fat content of ground pork sausage can vary, use a reputable brand like Jimmy Dean. Ground sausage from the meat counter is another way to ensure delicious sausage balls that aren’t too greasy.
Opt for sharp cheddar cheese when making these for a fresher flavor.
Lightly wet your hands with water when forming the sausage balls in your palms. A little goes a long way, so just a few drops of water are more than enough to create a smooth surface.
Use a food processor to make mixing the sausage ball ingredients easier. It makes the prep super fast!
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. They also store great frozen for up to 1 to 2 months
