Notes
Store leftover sausage balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, arrange unbaked balls on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to freezer bags for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to cooking time. Serve with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or garlic aioli for dipping.
