Sausage Balls

Don't you love the feeling of arriving home after you've been gone?  In the last six weeks, I think we've slept 10 different places and have only come home for about four days at a time before leaving again.  It's been fun to travel but I'm excited that we are home for a solid two weeks before it's time to leave again!  

Today I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all that I have to do to catch up on life here (i.e. our fridge is empty) plus a huge project that I have to finish by tonight (yikes!).  So, today is an easy, delicious recipe.  I make a batch of these sausage balls, then stick them in the freezer to pull out to supplement a bowl of cereal for breakfast or for a snack when dinner is running late.

Sausage Balls

Put one pound of grated cheddar cheese (at room temperature) in a bowl.


Add one pound of regular breakfast sausage (at room temperature).


Dump 3 cups of Bisquick into the bowl.


Mix these ingredients together until well combined.


Form into walnut-sized balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet.


Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool on cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes, then remove
to cooling rack or waxed paper.

What recipes do you use that freeze well?  I'm always looking for more!

    Mmm looks like a great recipe! My mom will make a lot of stove top meals (pasta, chicken paprikash, salsa chicken--my fave, etc.) and then freeze leftovers in small containers so I take them to work. They are good for a while so I know I always have a back up in case I don't have lunch meat to make a sandwich!

    These look good! I'm usually not a big fan of sausage, but anything with cheese is worth trying in my book! Thanks for sharing :)

    This looks amazing! I'm all about freezing stuff. I'll wait till a whole chicken is 75 cents a pound, then I'll have the butcher cut it up for me, I'll go home and then wrap it up and freeze it until I need the pieces. Very cost affective =)

    I remember how wonderful these were the first time I tried them...and how shocked I was that it was so simple! Great idea for a before dinner pick me up :)

    I always have yeast rolls and muffins in the freezer...great meal extenders.

    ooh, i love simple recipes like this. and anything that freezes well. i often freeze cookie dough balls or unbaked batches of muffin batter in individual muffin cups so that i can bake them off one at a time later to enjoy warm or so that...well, i don't end up eating them all at one go! perils of being single!

    I'm a big fan of freezing chilis and other bean dishes I make. I am a vegetarian so no meat dishes for me! I also freeze lasanga and bakes ziti!

    This is one of our absolute favorite family recipes. We never get around to freezing them because we eat them ALL, but I love knowing that freezing is a good option. :) They do make a fantastic breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea, don't they!?
