I used to make sausage balls, that was decades ago. If you don't have a
stand mixer here's a hint: slightly melt the cheese in the microwave and
let the sausage come to almost room temp. (Paranoid people need not
apply.) They're easier to roll and mix with the <gasp> bisquick type
baking mix. Quite tasty!

Swedish meatballs. Sour cream based sauce.

I like little mini "pizzas" made with sausage on party rye bread.
