This recipe is intended for breakfast, but by changing some of the spices would make another great meatball recipe as well as a great appetizer for a party.  Normally sausage balls are filled with Bisquick but not these and they taste so much better.  The Bisquick is just a filler, so lets skip that and get to the good stuff, the meat! 😉 This is a great go-to recipe for a quick, make ahead breakfast!

I am really cheating on this recipe.  I normally would make homemade breakfast sausage but with all the moving I just don’t have enough time to add one more recipe to the roster!   Be sure and get the best breakfast sausage you can in the store, trying to avoid MSG.  In the near future, I will posting a great breakfast sausage recipe!

This is yet another recipe where a  scoop is so handy.  You don’t have to get your hands all messy, and I like that! Play around with the seasonings, if you want more pepper flakes, add it!  If you want a bit of sweetness (mimicking maple syrup), add 1-2 servings of stevia.
