You don't precook the sausage, otherwise it would be impossible to mix
together. And yes, at first it doesn't look like it will ever come together
but just keep going... it will They can also be frozen on baking sheets
(uncooked) then baked right before you serve them. And yes, I soften the
cheese a bit in the microwave first to make mixing them a little easier.
