SAUSAGE BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Combine the sausage, baking mix and scallions if using in a large bowl and gently knead with your hands until the baking mix is fully incorporated. Add the Cheddar and continue to mix until the cheese is evenly distributed.
• Using a tablespoon to scoop, divide the mixture into walnut-size pieces and shape into balls with your hands. Arrange on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart, about 20 balls per baking sheet.
• Bake until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through, about 26 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHRISTMAS SAUSAGES

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, mustard, honey, salt and orange zest. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring, until everything is combined. Bring to a low simmer and allow it to bubble gently until slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the sausages to the pan and stir. Allow the sausages to warm through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a chafing dish or warming dish. Serve with toothpicks on the side.

SAUSAGE BALLS

Steps:

• Allow cheese and sausage to reach room temperature.
• Place in mixing bowl with Bisquick and blend until smooth. (I've had great success using my hand-held electric mixer to incorporate ingredients).
• NOTE: Mixture will be quite dry.
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spray well with vegetable oil spray.
• Press/roll mixture into 1 inch balls by hand; place on cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
• Bake in 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper toweling.
• Serve warm with Versatile Mustard Dip (Recipe #150023).

SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon, onion and celery, and cook for 4 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and transfer the bacon mixture to a plate. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the sausage, parsley, panko, 1 egg, salt, pepper and cooled bacon mixture. Mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, open the puff pastry sheets on a very lightly floured cutting board (you should have 2 sheets, measuring 10-inches by 10-inches). Cut each in half to make 4 rectangles, 5-inches by 10-inches each. Lay each rectangle so that the long side faces you.
• Remove the sausage mixture from the refrigerator and divide it into 4 portions. Form each portion into the shape of a long log, about 1-inch thick, and place one lengthwise in the center of each puff pastry rectangle. (The sausage should stretch the full length of the pastry).
• In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush all of the borders of the puff pastry with the egg and carefully roll the pastries over the sausage mixture to create a log shape (making sure that the borders overlap slightly). Place each roll seam side down on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 1 hour. (Hang on to the egg wash for later).
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a sharp knife, cut each sausage roll into 6 equal portions. Transfer the pieces to a parchment lined baking sheet, seam side down, about 1-inch apart. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed and golden on top.
