Notes
Storage:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- You can reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds, or back into the oven for 10-15 minutes, until heated through. I also love to reheat them in the air fryer at 400°F for 3 to 4 minutes. The air fryer really helps to re-crisp them up on the outside.
- Place the un-baked sausage balls onto cookie sheets and then store them in the fridge covered with plastic wrap up to 24 hours before. Pop them into the oven, when your guests arrive, and bake according to the recipe directions
- Place the formed sausage balls onto a baking sheet and place it in the freezer. Once the sausage balls are frozen, transfer them to a ziplock freezer bag to store for up to 4 months.
- When you are ready to bake them, let the balls thaw for 20 to 30 minutes and then bake as directed in the recipe below.
