How to Serve and Store Sausage Balls

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three to four days. To freeze, allow to cool completely and then store in a freezer safe bag or container for up to one month.

To reheat from refrigerator: place on a baking sheet on middle rack of oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes until heated through. You could also reheat them for 20-30 seconds in the microwave but they won’t be crisp on the outside!
