Meet one of the South’s most beloved party foods and a welcome guest at weddings, holidays, and baby showers. For our April 2024 Recipe of the Month, we took the traditional Sausage Ball and added our homegrown Skillet Cornbread Mix for a savory, herby, and sausage-y appetizer that is reason enough to collect with our favorite folks. Serve it with a kicky Maple Chili Dipping Sauce that brings something totally new to the party.

- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the greased baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
- While the sausage balls are baking, make the Maple Chili Dipping Sauce by combining all ingredients and mixing well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Once the sausage balls are golden and cooked through, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving alongside dipping sauce.
