Sausage Balls – A Stunning Mess

This sausage balls recipe is what I take into account PEAK Pinterest-mom meals. Lol. It’s really easy to make—there are solely 4 substances and also you simply combine, form and bake. And these sausage balls are so, SO scrumptious! They’re really addictive, you will have been warned. One chew and also you’ll be hooked. Regardless of in case you serve them as a vacation appetizer or as a part of a potluck meal, they’ll get devoured rapidly.

I’m undecided if Bisquick sausage balls are a Midwest factor, however simply in case you’ve by no means heard of them or by no means had them, I might describe them as sort of a brief reduce to meatballs. Most meatball recipes I make embody breadcrumbs and a few cheese (often Parmesan), so they really aren’t all that completely different. The feel and taste is extra like a tacky sausage biscuit.
