Directions:

Personal Notes:
The recipe has changed a little over the last 50 years. I have never baked them in marble sized balls. Ours are at least an inch in diameter. The time we bake them has remained about the same. I cannot imagine how hard those marble sized balls would have been and no way could we get 60 balls out of this recipe now.

They are good kept warm in a crock pot and I always used mild sausage since Jim does not like his food too hot or spicy.

I have learned to use parchment paper or the silicone baking sheets to keep the balls from sticking to the pan. We used to have them firmly stuck and lost a lot of the good crust on the bottom.
