Storing and Reheating
To make these sausage balls ahead of time, prepare them as instructed but do not bake. Instead, place the uncooked balls on a baking sheet and freeze them until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag and store them in the freezer for up to a month. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This keeps the texture nice and prevents them from becoming soggy.
