How To Make Sausage Balls

1. Mix Ingredients: Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl. TIP: Using a stand mixer makes this job much easier!

3. Add to baking sheet: Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake: Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. These would be great with honey mustard or marinara. Ranch dressing is also a favorite!
