Sausage Cheese Balls

meebsmom's Note:

I created this recipe after my family complained the sausage ball recipes I used had too much bread in them. This recipe is more for the "meat Lover" and much more dense than most.

• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

3. Roll in 1 inch balls and place on baking sheet.
4. Bake 18-20 minutes until nicely browned.

This was ok. It might have been the chicken sausage or the multigrain pancake mix, but this just didn't thrill any of us.

After bombing a simalar recipe featured in magazine ads I decided it wasn't worth the effort. After all, who wants to eat a dry sausage ball? Last weekend dh brought home ground sausage that had a similar recipe on the packaging. He thought it looked good and appearantly forgot about my results. Thankfully your recipe saved the meal. You supplied us with a recipe that worked well and tasted great. He's pleased and I feel like I didn't fail after all. Thanks for posting this one. It is moist and meaty - I think that popular brand of sausage would sell more with your recipe in their ads.
