SUPER BACON SAUSAGE BALLS
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a skillet, over medium to medium high heat, cook bacon until crisp and onions until tender. Remove to drain on paper towel. Set aside.
- Remove casings from sausages and dice meat.
- In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir with a whisk until blended. Add butter and using a fork or your fingers mix until mixture resembles coarse meal, or a pile of crumbs. Add uncooked sausage, cooked bacon and onions, and cheddar and stir until blended. Add buttermilk and stir until combined.
- Work with wet hands, roll dough into bite sides balls. Place on your prepared sheet, as evenly spaced as possible. Bake until a golden brown color, 20 to 26 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking if your oven has a hot spot! Transfer cooked sausage balls to a rack to cool if desired. Serve warm with dips such as ketchup, sweet and sour sauce, ranch dressing, a sunny side up egg or whatever your heart desires!

BACON-WRAPPED SAUSAGES
These little guys are ALWAYS a hit with the adults and kids. Barbecue appetizers or backyard hors d'oeuvres as I like to call them are a great way to give your guests a hint of what they're in store for. Not to mention they'll fend off the hungry crowds while the ribs are finishing. But don't be offended when some misguided soul raves about these and neglects to mention your fine 'cue! You can do these on the pan in your smoker or if its full they work just as well in the oven. Trust me, they're great either way.

Steps:
- Cut the bacon strips in half length-wise (just leave in the package and cut with a knife). Cut the sausage into pieces that are about the same width of the bacon strips. Just toss the ends of the sausages.
- Wrap the 1/2-strips of bacon around the sausages and hold it in place with a toothpick. Place on top of a cookie sheet. Now I like to do these two ways: for a spicy kick shake a few pepper flakes on top of each sausage or for more of a sweeter flavor try a small sliver of candied ginger.
- Top each sausage with a loose 1/2 - 3/4 tsp scoop of brown sugar. The brown sugar will be used to gauge when the sausages are done. When it melts down and turns into a little volcano of brown sugar they are READY!
- If your grill is already full then put these in your oven at 300°F for approximately 45-60 minutes. Its nearly impossible to overcook these, but you do want to keep some of the molten brown sugar on top for flavor. So don't forget to give your guests this treat.

Tips:
- Use high-quality sausage. The better the sausage, the better the sausage balls will be. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat and has a good flavor.
- Don't overmix the sausage mixture. Overmixing will make the sausage balls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the sausage mixture before forming the balls. This will help the balls to hold their shape better when they are cooked.
- Wrap the sausage balls tightly with bacon. This will help to keep the balls moist and flavorful.
- Bake the sausage balls at a high temperature. This will help to brown the bacon and give the sausage balls a crispy exterior.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped sausage balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. These sausage balls are also a great way to use up leftover sausage. If you have some cooked sausage on hand, simply crumble it up and add it to the sausage mixture. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these bacon-wrapped sausage balls a try. You won't be disappointed!
