makes 24 balls (4 per serving) · prep time: 10 minutes · cook time: 20 minutes
This is one of my favorite recipes in this book. These sausage balls are so simple to make, and they are perfect for any meal. I always keep a batch in the refrigerator for those days when I just don’t feel like cooking. I like to make a double or triple batch, portion them out, and freeze them for later. Cook once, eat multiple times! I like to serve these with Barbecue Sauce (here) and Avocado Ranch Dressing (here) for dipping.
