Not to butt in (who, me?), but I made these for the first time last
week. I found that it would have been easier if I let the sausage
warm up a bit before trying to mix it with the other ingredients.
Also, Jill told me she microwaves the cheese to soften it a bit.
Hope she doesn't mind me saying that. I wound up adding just a
bit of water to get the stuff mixed, what a chore.
