Sausage Balls

My husband loves his mom's sausage balls.  I make them occasionally (meaning maybe once a year....), but their alot of work.  You have to blend the ground sausage into the bisquick, cheese, and seasoning.  I don't have a stand-up mixer, so I put my poor little hand held mixer through misery trying to pull through the pork.  It's wonder I haven't burned the motor out yet.  But, I'd much rather sacrifice a $30 mixer than exert the energy it took me to do it by hand the first time I made them years ago.  Then you have dozens of balls to roll out.  This just isn't my favorite dish by any means.

But, as a sentiment to Mississippi States first Game Day of the season, Brenna and I made Daddy sausage balls for his football snacking treat.  I have to admit, making sausage balls was alot more fun with Brenna, but she added at least another 45 minutes to the process because of all the cheese I had to clean-up from the kitchen floor. 

I can never remember to go back and take a picture after everything is cooked, but take my word, Jacob enjoyed them.  I think we might make this a tradition, since Mississippi State killed Memphis 59-14!  Go State!
