I make these for breakfast for my kiddos sometimes. These with a little fruit give them nourishment that tides them over well for the morning!
One thing I’d like to know – can these be refrigerated overnight BEFORE they are baked? Or can the batter/dough be refrigerated overnight and then made into balls in the morning? I’m worried it might dry out. So far, I just brown the sausage the night before, but I’d love to find a way to prep them right up to the point of baking, ahead of time.

Thanks for the comment, Mae. I am not sure if they can be made ahead or not. If you try it, I would recommend that you cover the sausage ball dough(?) tightly with plastic wrap.
