Tasty Tuesday Sausage Cheese Balls!

You know, it's getting to the point where I might as well rename Tasty Tuesday as Donna's Guestblog Day! It's all hers, including that last pic!

So, without further adieu, here's another of her terrific recipes!

Now that we have snow on the ground, I start thinking of Holiday entertaining.
So yesterday, while stuck inside during the snowstorm. I made up a couple batches of these Cheesy Balls and had a few with breakfast eggs today and then froze the rest. They'll be a good appetizer ready for the holidays. I've even added these to the Turkey as the stuffing one year. Pretty tasty. I've served them with spaghetti or even as Beef Stroganoff or Swedish meatballs. They're very fun and versatile Balls. ENJOY THESE BALLS THEY'RE A MOUTH FULL OF YUMMYNESS.

  6. Ladies let's hope we have enough furry's to go around the YahYah CBEB's camp. I too love hairy guys. So we'll have to share. I'm sure we can be pleasant and giving and having a good time and provide inspiration for all of you writers and readers. LOL

  7. Donna, love the recipe...when you say "baking mix" do you mean something like Bisquick?

    As always, the side-o-hunk is very nice!

  8. Okay, obviously I need to go hunting for bears to satisfy this hairy guy fetish so many of you seem to have. Anyone want to come with me?

  11. @Mary G. I think your nose is growing (recipe indeed;) just like we keep wishing that lovely sausage will. It most definitely needs plumping. Definitely. (Rainman)

    The Sausage Cheese Balls recipe sounds like a winner. I'm going to cut and paste it in an email to send to my sister - who quite often entertains crowds. I'll keep the man balls and sausage for my own entertainment while singing Diva Donna's ditty....

  12. Yes Lisa, Biquick or Jiffy Baking Mix. It all works.
