What to do with your sausage

[Roadking]

Thought you guys might like this recipe that uses sausage. Wife and I love these as a somewhat quick TV snack.

Sausage Cheese Balls

1 pound bulk ground sausage (mild or hot fresh, not cooked)
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
3 cups biscuit mix (Bisquick)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon melted butter

Preparation:
In a skillet, brown the sausage with celery and onion; drain well. Combine sausage mixture with baking mix (Bisquick), egg, cheese, and butter. Mix well; form into balls about 1 inch in size. Bake in a preheated 350° oven on lightly greased or sprayed baking sheets for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned. Makes about 36 1-inch appetizers.
We usually double the recipe and roll the balls and place on parchment paper on tray. Place in the freezer and when frozen move them to freezer bags and back into freezer. This way you can take a few and pop them onto a piece of foil in the convection oven. Just add about an extra 10 minutes because there frozen.

I have used that mix beforeand love it.  Also very tasty spooned out on party rye bread and baked. I will usually reserve some ground for this when making Cajun style spicy sausage. YUM!

I'm a big fan of frogmore stew. It's especially good for when you make a batch of sausage that turns out too salty (beginner mistake, I know  ::) ) .

    *   6 quarts water
    * 3/4 cup Old Bay Seasoning TM
    * 2 pounds new red potatoes
    * 2 pounds hot smoked sausage links, cut into 2 inch pieces
    * 12 ears corn - husked, cleaned and quartered
    * 4 pounds large fresh shrimp, unpeeled

   1.   Bring water and Old Bay Seasoning to boil in a large stockpot.
   2. Add potatoes and cook for 15 minutes. Add sausage and cook for 5 minutes more. Add corn and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes. Drain immediately and serve.

That's the classic version.  I like to add crayfish, file powder, and onion.
