I didn’t have sausage so I substituted Ground Chicken with fajita seasoning, peppers adn onions made by Mighty Spark. I comes in 1 lb packages. I also substituted 1/4 tsp of xantham gum for the gelatin.
Nice receipt. I sautéed onions, celery, garlic and mushrooms and after it cooled down, added the mixture in along with some salt and pepper. This added a nice bit of flavor to the sausage balls.
I followed the receipe and it was a huge hit with family and friends
These were delicious. I made them last night and even thought I screwed up and bought maple sausage by mistake, which I hate. These came out great. I made some mini frittata’s along with these
Taste very good. Need to cook on silicon or spray aluminum foil. Couldn’t get off foil in 1 piece lost the crispy bottoms.
