Sausage balls

Warrior2022 — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 23:58:58 GMT

Does anyone else make these? I remember these tasty treats when I was a kid. They were made for holiday get togethers.

Anyway, I was talking at work today about making sausage balls. About 10 people looked up and said. "WHAT ARE SAUSAGE BALLS?" After explaining they were still clueless.

So Friday I will be taking in sausage balls.

Does anyone else make them?

I love sausage balls and still make them occasionally! Your coworkers are in for a treat and you will be asked to bring sausage balls for every potluck from now on! Enjoy!

@Warrior2022 I love those things!!! When I was working and anyone brought those in, at holiday time, I was always the first one at the table.... If I had the ingredients, I'd make some now...

Wow, I have not thought of these in a long time. My mom made little ones and we poked them with a toothpick. They were just wonderful sausage, no idea if she ground her own.

@Warrior2022 My DD and I have been known to make a little over 1,000 sausage balls each year. Everyone ask for them year after year.

I've never known a sausage ball that didn't get eaten. Same for pigs in a blanket. They are always the first snacks to go at a party.

I made sausage balls one year at Christmas when I was having guests. They were so greasy, I could hardly stand them.

Sometimes it's the cook, not the recipe. You have to mix very well, by hand at least an hour. I can't speak for a mixer.

Haven't thought about these in years. Thanks for the reminder. Will whip up a batch for the holidays.

have never had them, but looked up the three ingredient recipe.

they look pretty simple to prepare.

are they served with a dipping sauce or all on their own?

I tried to make these years ago, but mine didn't turn out, too dry. I suppose it had to do with the sausage I used. The sausage today seems even more lean, not much greese to even make a sausage gravy without help from butter/or oil. Let me know if you have a better recipe.

1 lb ground sausage. Take it out of the fridge and set it out for about 30 minutes.

Put sausage and 2 cups bisquick in a gallon ziplock bag and mix mix mix until combined.

Add 2 cups cheddar cheese and mix mix mix.

After mixing, for walnut sized balls.

Bake on a cookie sheet with parchment paper 20-25 minutes at 350.in a preheated oven.

I personally prefer rum balls. . . Very wet moist rum balls.

I like to eat them with honey mustard for dipping.

@Warrior2022 This is the best recipe. Like you said the secret to make the mixing easier is to mix the sausage and bisquick well and then add the cheese.

Everyone in my family loves these. I use the same ratios as sunandfun above and sage sausage.

They like and praise the other appetizers I make but always ask for silly old sausage balls.

David had a recipe for these years ago, back when they still had the magazine. I will post it if I can find it, but 10 to 1 its the same as one of the recipes already posted.
