This sausage balls recipe is perfect for brunch, game day snacks, or party appetizers.

For years I have been in a real rut.  A sausage balls rut that is.  I make them every Christmas morning, but seldom through the rest of the year.

I mean, I do make them here or there as a quick breakfast for the boys, but until recently, I always  made them the same way.
2 cups of biscuit mix
2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 pound of sage ground sausage
Easy peasy.

This year, however, I decided to live a little and try something new.  I added a few more ingredients and they turned out awesome, if I do say so myself.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you version 2.0 of my tasty…
