Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray. \u00a0Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well with your fingers. The mixture will be very crumbly. Form into 1-inch balls (it is important the balls are all the same size so they cook evenly), squeezing the mixture so it holds together, then rolling it between the palms of your hands to form balls. \u00a0If the mixture is not holding together, add a few tablespoons of water. Place the balls on the baking sheet (leave about 1-inch of space between each ball). Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. To prevent sticking, move the balls with a spatula halfway through cooking. After cooking, lay the sausage balls out on paper towels and allow them to cool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong>This recipe can be adapted to fit the ingredients you have available or your specific tastes. You can make an Italian version of it by substituting Italian seasoning and mozzarella cheese and serving it with marinara sauce. You could also give it a Mexican twist by using Monterey jack cheese and chili powder and serving it with salsa. The opportunities are endless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sausage Balls Coming from a family of avid hunters, we always have an excess of meats in the fridge.
