1) only 3 ingredients that I usually have on hand
2) I love that they can be made ahead and reheated. That means you can freeze these little guys and just pop them in the oven to reheat them right before serving time!
Today I made them for a football playoff game for my hubby and I, but the extra's will be divided into small sandwich baggies for a perfect grab and go breakfast bites for the busy week ahead!

Sausage Balls

1 lb. sausage
2 cups baking mix ( Bisquick style) (I am using a whole wheat mix)
