Reviews
These were good. Based on the other reviews I expected spectacular, but they needed some sort of sauce or something to set them off. This makes twice as much (or more) stuffing as you will need. We plan to use ours as breakfast sausage. Also, perhaps partially cook the bacon prior to wrapping, as it takes too long to brown fully.
This is perhaps the best appetizer I have ever had.
So Good ! Everyone loved it ! It was a nice appetizer ! Will do it again for sure ! Al meat are well balance…. I will try it with more deer ans less pork next time, just to taste the difference
this recipes is the best i get from her and will be using it alot
Delicious
these are great. I added one thing, water chestnuts, wrap that up in there as well, yummy! They will help stretch these a bit.
