Tips:

  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the onion and garlic.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the onion and garlic by hand.
  • Be sure to use fresh bread crumbs. Stale bread crumbs will make the sausage balls dry and crumbly.
  • If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can make your own by tearing bread into small pieces and then toasting them in the oven until they are dry and crispy.
  • If you like spicy sausage balls, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the sausage mixture, such as chopped cheese, cooked bacon, or diced jalapeños.
  • Be sure to cook the sausage balls until they are golden brown and cooked through. If they are not cooked through, they will be greasy and unappetizing.
  • Serve the sausage balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Sausage balls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of sausage balls that will be sure to please everyone.
