Ingredients:
- 2 pkgs. Italian Flavor Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose baking mix
- 16 oz. (4 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red pepper
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 package (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Drain and press spinach to remove excess liquid. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl; stir well. Form into 1" balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet; bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven; allow to cool 5 minutes before removing from pan. Serve with cocktail forks or toothpicks.
Note: may be prepared ahead and frozen uncooked. To bake from frozen, thaw on baking sheet 15 minutes; bake in preheated oven 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Variation: for firmer texture, add 3 cups baking mix and 2 cups shredded mozzarella to the ingredients listed above.
