Trisha Yearwoods Sausage Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until well-browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Let cool completely, either on the counter or in the freezer.
• Mix together the butter and sour cream in a stand mixer. Mix in the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until fully combined. Add the sausage and cheddar, and mix until well incorporated.
• Drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, cranberries, sunflower seeds and flax seeds until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Form balls from the mixture (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) and place them on the baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage to the skillet and brown on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate.
• Add the bell peppers, onions and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the saute pan used for the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and garlic. Let cook for 1 minute, and add the chicken stock. Cut the sausages on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces and add them to the saute pan. Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fill the toasted rolls with the sausages, peppers and onions and serve warm.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, cranberries, sunflower seeds and flax seeds until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Form balls from the mixture (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) and place them on the baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• For the sausage bites: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Unfold the pastry sheet and dust both sides with flour. Roll to an approximately 12-inch square. Cut into four 6-inch squares. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the entire surface of the top of each pastry square lightly with beaten egg. Reserve the egg wash. Brush with the mustard, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Roll each sausage tightly in a pastry square, crimping the edges to seal. With a serrated knife, trim the loose edges from each roll. Cut each crosswise into 4 sections.
• Place the bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, about an inch apart. Bake until the pastry is crisp, browned and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle with dill.
• For the creole mayo sauce: Meanwhile, combine the mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, maple syrup, cider vinegar and a dash of hot sauce in a bowl.
• Serve the sausage bites warm with the sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and brush with oil.
• Combine the parsley, garlic, carrot, celery and onions in a food processor and pulse to make an almost-smooth vegetable paste. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the eggs to the milk and whisk together, then add to the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, beef and pork. Mix well with your hands. Form into 6 large meatballs and place, without touching, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the meatballs are just cooked through, about 40 minutes.
• For the marinara: Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add the oil and onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle but doesn't color, about 1 minute. Add the oregano, tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water and smash the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened and flavorful, about 20 minutes. Toss with the meatballs, then top with Parmesan and basil to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the sausage, cheese and baking mix and beat on low speed until blended. Add pepper to taste. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookies sheet. Bake until browned, about 20 minutes.
• Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
