Sausage and Pancake Breakfast Balls

My family is spoiled.  Yes, I admit it.  They are definitely spoiled when it comes to breakfast.   They are to the point that mere cereal from a box will get groans and wails of disgust.  I have no one to blame but myself, and I am okay with that.  I have always loved breakfast, and have obviously passed that love onto the next generation.  So I am always on the look out for easy, freezer friendly breakfast options.  This one satisfies our love of pancakes and sausage, all in one little bite of breakfast deliciousness.

Sausage & Pancake Breakfast Balls

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs pork sausage (I use Jimmy Dean Maple Breakfast Sausage)
• 1/4 C maple syrup
• 6 Tbsp maple syrup – for drizzling on top
• 1 egg
• 4 medium pancakes, cut into tiny pieces

Directions:

In a medium bowl, mix the sausage, 1/4 C syrup and egg until combined.  Gently stir in the pancake pieces until evenly combined.  Form into tablespoon sized balls, and place on a baking sheet.  Drizzle with the remaining syrup.  Bake at 375 for 22-25 minutes.

Freezing Directions:

Allow breakfast balls to completely cool.  Flash freeze on cookie sheet until hard.  Place in freezer storage container or freezer bag, freezing up to 3 months.  No need to thaw, just reheat for 25 seconds per ball in microwave.

Servings: 3-4 dozen
