Italian-Style Sausage Cheese Balls

Makes: 20 servings (2 balls each)

Try these tasty sausage balls this holiday season.

Ingredients:

1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Regular Flavor Pork Sausage Roll

3/4 cup all-purpose baking mix, such as Bisquick®

2 cups (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese

1 c. packed fresh spinach leaves, finely chopped

1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 c. finely chopped red bell pepper

1 lg. clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp. dried oregano

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375° F. Mix ingredients just until blended.  Shape into 40 (1-inch) balls; place in single layer in two lightly greased shallow baking pans. Bake 12-14 minutes or until done (160° F). Serve with toothpicks.

Sausage balls can be shaped ahead of time and frozen.  When ready to serve, heat oven to 375° F.  Place frozen balls on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake (160° F) for 16-18 minutes at or until done.

If using 1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Italian Flavor Pork Sausage Roll (rather than regular flavor), omit the oregano.

Place Settings for the Holiday Feast… or anytime

It’s not to late to find some great pieces to add a bit of panache to your holiday table this year.

Even better, this is a GREAT place to complete your china set…. or find some treasures such as Christmas tree ornaments, Disney collectibles, Waterford glassware and silver flatware — just to name a few.

Great-Great-Grandma Kringle left a set of china to ol’ Kris.  There were a couple of chips in some of the plates (probably from a rambunctious elf who had a bit too much of the Holiday Spirits, if you know what I mean)… but no problem… Replacements.com were able to find the pieces we needed to replace to keep the set complete.

It is more than China… it is a memory of that wonderful woman and the good memories around her table.

Here is a sample of blown glass Christmas tree ornaments found at Replacements.com. These Santa ornaments were created by Merck Family’s Old World Christmas. The site also features Hallmark and works by Christopher Radko.

Take a peek at all the goodies at Replacements.com  In this case, it’s okay to look before Dec. 25.  But hurry!
