Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light grease coating.

Notes
- Swap regular sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner protein option that reduces overall fat content.
- Add a dash of red pepper flakes or cayenne for extra kick if you enjoy spicier appetizers.
- Prep these ahead of time by forming balls and refrigerating up to 24 hours before baking, which helps flavors meld together and saves party prep time.
- Consider using gluten-free Bisquick mix to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities, ensuring everyone can enjoy these tasty bites.
