I adapted this recipe from Jimmy Deans and it is a hit every Superbowl, Holiday season and beyond. I make a double batch, shape, place on cookie sheet and freeze. After they are frozen I seal 2 dozen in each seal a meal bag. This is great when you need a quick appetizer for unexpected guest or just a snack for the family. Pull straight from the freezer, place on cookie sheet while oven is preheating. When oven is preheated pop then in and no time you have a warm satisfying snack.
