Hot Sausage Grilled Cheese-it tastes JUST like a holiday sausage ball.
Have you made sausage balls before? They only seem to appear during end-of-year holiday celebrations and they are the first things to disappear from the appetizer table. Made with Bisquick, ground sausage and shredded cheese, they're the easiest thing to make. But this grilled cheese is easier.
Recipe is below. You're welcome.

What sausage do you recommend?
ReplyDeleteNeese's or Jimmy Dean hot sausage are my favorite with Neese's extra sage coming in a close third.
