SAUSAGE CHEESE BALLS RECIPE

The big game is coming up soon and I had leftover sausage from these Stuffed Mushrooms so I made these! 

I realize we all have different reasons for watching the Super Bowl…

A) You really love football.
B) You really love Super Bowl Food.
C) You really love talking your friends and tolerate the first half so you can see the halftime show performers.

Which one are you? I think I’m a little of all three.ingredients

The first time I made these was for an appetizer, but as I’ve made them over the years I feel like they are leaning towards a breakfast dish. Especially if you use pork breakfast sausage. They are great with maple syrup.
