No party is complete without some sort of ball shaped appetizer. Especially a Super Bowl party. Sausage balls anyone? I'm not sure if it would be worth it to take the time to shape these piglet nuggets into footballs or not.
You could pipe the laces on with mustard?? Here's the basic recipe I found on many websites:Ingredients:
1 pound ground pork sausage
2 cups biscuit baking mix
1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.In a large bowl, combine sausage, biscuit baking mix and cheese. Form into walnut size balls and place on baking sheets.
3.Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Can you ever go wrong with a 1:1 ratio of sausage to cheese? I'm guessing you'd brown the sausage first?? Recipes don't say. Might be too dry tho if the sausage was cooked so it must be uncooked. Gross. I hate to handle raw sausage. I bet my mom has made these before. She'll let us know. I would be tempted to add some onion and garlic salt, maybe green chiles. Knowing me I'd find a way to sneak in some blue cheese too. I would definitely use Uncle Charley's spicy sausage as it is the bomdigity of sausage. Some kind of a mustard dipping sauce sounds delightful don't you think?
Paula Dean's Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip
. I've always wanted to make this. Feb 6 just may be the lucky day.Gotta have the football Oreos!
Football Meatloaf?! Hello??!! Maybe not for the party but I'm making it this week for the kids for sure! Although some mini buns with a sweet & spicy ketchuppy sauce could make a tasty football meatloaf slider. Hmmmmm.....
Incidentally, I'm watching the Biggest Loser as I type this post. Not quite sure how I feel about that. Mostly this show inspires me to snack as I'm not that fucking fat... yet. Then it makes me feel like a loser because if these chubbies can work out that hard and stick to their diets then I have no excuse whatsoever. Or do I.......

About the sausage balls. You don't brown the sausage first. A nice pair of latex gloves would be a good investment. I usually think of those for a brunch though.
and about the gloves. I find it convenient to "pick up" a pair whenever I'm in a dr.'s office. There is usually a large container hanging on the wall in the exam room. I'd just take two. No need to be greedy.
I have had the Paula Dean Dip, it was fabulous! The girl that made it left it chunky though and I think that is what made it so good. The only thing I would do different is add tons of garlic for some heat.
