Storage and Reheating Tips
If you happen to have leftovers (though we doubt they will last long!), storing these sausage balls is simple. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Simply place the cooled sausage balls in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy them again, just thaw and reheat in the oven for a few minutes until warmed through.
Reheating these sausage balls is straightforward. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the sausage balls on a baking sheet. Heat them for about 10-15 minutes or until they are hot and slightly crispy on the outside. This will ensure that you enjoy the same delightful texture and flavor just like when they were freshly baked.
