Notes
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure the sausage balls are cooked through. If using pork sausage, the internal temperature should read 160°F.
- Alternatively, cook at 350°F in an air fryer for 10-12 minutes. Use non-stick cooking spray or a disposable liner to ensure they don't stick
