welcome back everyone today we are
0:02
making two appetizers for you we're
0:05
going to be using Jimmy Dean sausage and
0:08
cream cheese in both of them we're
0:10
making a sausage cream cheese ball and
0:13
we're also making a sausage Christini
0:16
these are perfect for football season
0:19
coming up and also the
0:21
holidays some of y'all are going to have
0:23
potlucks too in the fall so this is
0:25
perfect we're going to start with the
0:27
first one and make sausage cream cheese
0:29
balls my husband's favorite it's all
0:33
happening in one large mixing bowl we
0:35
have six ingredients and the first one
0:38
is Jimmy Dean sausage I just use the
0:41
regular it does come in hot if you want
0:44
a little extra heat to your sausage
0:48
balls all right that's going in oh it
0:51
smells good I love the spices in here M
0:54
and then we're going to take a block of
0:56
cream cheese 8 oz make sure you bring to
1:00
room
1:03
temperature there we
1:06
go passing that off passing that off and
1:10
passing that off the right way I wasn't
1:12
prepared for that let's talk about the
1:15
next ingredient we have Rotel diced
1:18
tomatoes and green chilies 10 oz if you
1:22
don't like Rotel because it's too hot
1:25
for you you can use diced tomatoes that
1:28
are in a can drain them and put 10
1:31
ounces into this dish here but we're
1:34
using the mild here so the cream cheese
1:37
and everything else will kind of mild
1:38
out that flavor all right I'm going to
1:40
go drain this and be right
1:44
back looks good already right bisig
1:48
we're going to put in one and 3/4 cup
1:51
sometimes people don't have bisck or
1:53
can't find bisqui you know in the area
1:55
that you live I have a recipe on my blog
1:59
for bisquit
2:00
and you can make it exactly the way you
2:02
need
2:06
to that looks like a
2:08
cup and
2:12
3/4 that looks good uh let's see a
2:15
little bit more there we
2:16
go we're going to add one cup of sharp
2:20
cheddar cheese or if you like the mild
2:23
you can do that
2:24
also I'm going to take a little bit of
2:26
Parmesan that's shredded add that about
2:29
a qu of a cup it'll add a nice flavor
2:32
it'll go really well with that
2:34
Rotel there we go I'm putting on some
2:37
gloves we're going to go in and mix this
2:39
all together till it's well
2:43
combined I'm not going to put any
2:44
seasonings in this because the sausage
2:48
has a really good flavor to
2:51
it you don't need to do much to
2:54
it we're ready to form some balls we've
2:57
got our sheet pan lined with some
3:00
parchment paper or anything nonstick
3:02
we're going to be using a cookie scoop
3:04
it's about 1 and 1/2 in we're just going
3:06
to go into the
3:10
mixture place it into the palm of your
3:12
hand just roll it lightly into a ball
3:16
shape and then we'll place that on our
3:18
sheet pan on that parchment okay y'all
3:22
let us know some of your favorite
3:25
appetizers I need lots of ideas I've
3:27
made so many of them and stay tuned
3:30
because we still have another one to
3:31
make as soon as we get these in the oven
3:32
we're going to start the next appetizer
3:35
recipe so don't go
3:39
anywhere I've got my oven preheated at
3:41
400° we're going to bake these off for
3:44
about 20 to 25 minutes you want them
3:46
nice and golden brown and cooked through
3:49
made about 45 of these we have a smaller
3:52
pan also we're going to go ahead now and
3:55
start that sausage Christini while these
3:58
are baking in the oven okay for this
4:00
recipe we're going to need some french
4:03
bread already sliced you can even get
4:06
the French loaf bread and slice it
4:08
yourself you'll want it to be about this
4:11
thick right here we picked this up at
4:13
the store pre-sliced we're going to put
4:16
about 15 of these on a sheet
4:20
pan this is kind of a half of a recipe
4:23
that we're doing
4:24
today but if you want to do a full
4:26
recipe and make 30 of these you can do
4:28
that but since we're doing the sausage
4:30
balls also we'll stick with this here
4:34
just going to bring a small bowl over
4:36
we're going to put some oil in you can
4:38
use some olive oil or like avocado
4:41
oil that's good right there we can
4:43
always add more as we need
4:45
it I'm just going to take my bread we're
4:48
going to coat it with the
4:52
oil now what we're going to do is we
4:55
want to get both sides nice and toasty
4:58
so we're going to flip them all over
5:02
yep and then we're going to brush this
5:05
side with the oil and like I said if you
5:08
need to add more oil to your dish go
5:11
right
5:12
ahead a little bit more we're going to
5:14
pop these in an oven you want to put
5:16
them into a 375 Dee preheated oven for
5:20
about 6 to 8 minutes till they get nice
5:22
and toasty we're going to flip it over
5:25
about halfway through and toast the
5:28
other side so 4 minutes flip them 4
5:31
minutes until you get a nice kind of
5:33
golden toasty color on them now my oven
5:37
is already at 400° with those sausage
5:39
balls in there so I'm going to keep an
5:40
eye on these when I put them in the oven
5:43
we're going to take half a thing of
5:44
Jimmy Dean
5:45
sausage and we're going to fry it up in
5:48
a medium Skillet this is 16 oz so we're
5:52
going to be doing 8
5:55
oz let's break it
5:57
up while this is Browning up we're going
6:00
to chop up an onion some sweet peppers
6:05
just a few of them and then we got some
6:08
basil here that we're going to chop up
6:10
I'm only going to use about half of an
6:12
onion it's pretty small so we're just
6:14
going to take the ends off peel that
6:17
outer layer make sure you keep an eye on
6:20
your toasty Breads in the oven I'm going
6:23
to go check that right
6:25
now going cut the onion in
6:28
half just going to follow the lines of
6:30
the onion pretty close to
6:33
that I'm going to turn it and then I'm
6:35
going to run my knife through it to get
6:36
small dices here we're going to add it
6:39
to the sausage and let it kind of soften
6:42
down as the sausage is
6:49
cooking now you can use bell pepper if
6:51
you want use a red bell pepper get some
6:54
color in there but I like the sweetness
6:56
of the peppers here so I'm just going to
6:58
cut off the top cut these in half
7:01
lengthwise I'm going to get the other
7:03
hand in the kitchen help stir that
7:07
up I'm just going to peel off any kind
7:09
of
7:10
membrane and seeds that we don't want
7:14
I'm going to dice these up pretty
7:18
small so I'm just going to make thin
7:20
strips well that sausage smells good it
7:23
sure
7:25
does and then we'll just turn the strips
7:27
around we're just going to make SES pull
7:30
in your
7:33
fingers we're going to add this to the
7:36
sausage and onion just a soften it down
7:38
just a little
7:42
bit all right let's take a look at the
7:44
basil we're going to go ahead and destem
7:46
it now basil I find it like this in the
7:49
store it comes in a little package like
7:50
that in your vegetable section of your
7:53
store all right I'm just going to roll
7:54
up my basil kind of do a chiod and then
7:57
cut that so we have little pieces
8:02
tuck in your
8:04
fingers give it a nice pretty color in
8:07
there and a nice fragrance to it
8:10
also all right let's add
8:16
that I'm going to mix this
8:19
up we're going to turn off the
8:21
heat we're going to add
8:24
in half of a package of cream cheese
8:29
put that
8:31
in I'm going to break it down into the
8:34
sausage the peppers the onions melt it
8:37
down while this is melting I'm going to
8:39
go ahead and add in 4 oz of mozzarella
8:42
cheese about half of this package
8:45
here start melting that into
8:49
it just keep stirring it until you get a
8:51
nice
8:55
mixture we're going to take a spoonful
8:57
of the mixture
8:59
we're going to spread it on the toasty
9:03
