Tips & Variations
- Spicy: Use spicy sausage or add crushed red pepper.

- Make-ahead: Freeze unbaked balls; bake directly from frozen, adding 5–7 minutes.
- Mini version: Use a teaspoon to form smaller, bite-sized balls for parties.
If you want, I can also give a keto-friendly version, air fryer version, or extra cheesy version with cream cheese inside each ball 🧀🔥.
