Easy Sausage Balls

Sausage balls are a guilty pleasure for me. I love sweets, but I think I enjoy savory snacks just as much. Sausage balls are great because they’re made with a few simple ingredients and are the perfect dish to bring to a potluck or party. I’ve even been known to make them for dinner or breakfast. They’re full of protein and keep you full, which is important to me.

Most sausage ball recipes call for Bisquick, but if you don’t purchase this item or are trying to save money, you might want to try making a batch of Homemade Bisquick. I hope you enjoy this recipe and be sure to check out the links below for more party food ideas.
