Storage

You can store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Freeze for 2-3 months in a tightly sealed container.

Tips

I use my hands to mix everything together, similar to meatballs. You can also use a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer.
The amount of balls this makes depends on the size you roll them.
Make these spicy by adding a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, depending on how spicy you'd like it. You can also use hot sausage instead of sweet Italian sausage.

Make Ahead

Follow the instructions up until all of the balls are placed on the baking sheet. Don't bake them, instead place the sheet pan in the freezer.
Once the balls are frozen, transfer them to an airtight container in the freezer. Store for 2-3 months.
When you're ready, bake as directed, adding an additional 5-10 minutes to the cook time, until they are cooked through.
