Notes
Storage, freezing, and reheating instructions
Storage. Once cooled, transfer the leftover sausage balls to an airtight container or freezer bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Freezing. Transfer the baked sausage balls to a freezer container or freezer bag. If using a bag, be sure to squeeze as much of the air out as possible. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw completely before serving.
Reheating. Though you can eat sausage balls at room temperature, I enjoy them warm! You can zap them in the microwave for about 30 seconds or toast them in a 350-degree oven for 5-10 minutes. My preferred method is the air fryer. Bake a few at a time at 350 degrees for 1-2 minutes.
