Vegan Sausage Balls

It’s the holiday season and vegan sausage balls are one of the many recipes that I needed to veganize when we changed our diet.  It’s one of our traditions to have them every Christmas Eve and there are never leftovers.  They are very rich and cheesy and make a great appetizer for the holidays.

Start by mixing the dry ingredients separate from the sausage and cheese so all the dry ingredients get thoroughly mixed together.  Then work in the sausage and cheese with your hands.  Break up the sausage into smaller bits while working in the flour mixture.

If the mixture is too dry add a tablespoon at a time of plant-based milk to help the mixture hold together and form the sausage balls.  Vegan sausage and cheese are not as fatty as their alternatives so the milk helps everything stick together.

I hope you enjoy the vegan sausage ball recipe!
