Definitely trying these today. Seasoned totally different than the way i normally do mine. Is the soy sauce strong tasting ?
They are a bit different .. the soy sauce just adds a bit of savoriness . Not over power at all.
Can i freeze these after i make them into balls uncooked?????
I have never froze them before but I’m sure you could , but if you cook them while frozen you would have to adjust the cooking time . I have made them the night before and put them fridge only.
I have frozen sausage balls. Just don’t bake them first. Put on a lined baking sheet in single layer; making sure they aren’t touching and place on freezer shelf till frozen. Once they are frozen solid, package them up and put instructions in with; oven temperature and baking time.
When ready to prepare take out night before, remove from freezer bag and place your sausage balls on baking sheet and place in fridge and ready to bake, bake as instructions say.
Anything like this I will freeze first Before baking them.
Thanks for the tip Colleen.
What can I use instead of Bisquick as I can’t get it here in Ireland.
Hi Valerie, If you good homemade bisquick you find a recipe make your own. It’s usually a mixture of flour, baking powder , salt and butter or shortening.
Could almond flower be used
Hi Sandy I could not recommend almond flour for this recipe. I have another great meatball recipe without flour in it, check out my https://bakedbroiledandbasted.com/low-carb-meatballs-and-creamy-spinach/
I wish the recipes would state how many it serves
Hi Pat .. I usually get around 15-20 from this recipe when I use a 1 1/2 TBS scoop. It really just depending on the size scoop that is used when making the balls. I hope this helps.
