Two easy Christmas recipse we have to have on hand year after year is for sausage balls and mimosas! If you’re anything like our family, the kids and grandkids wake up super early – so it’s nice to have something to snack and sip on while presents are opened. Whether you’re at home or on the road, these two Christmas recipes are incredibly easy to make. Check ‘em out!
Christmas Morning Sausage Balls
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground sweet Italian sausage
- 1 box Red Lobster brand cheddar biscuit mix
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Pepperjack are our family’s favorites)
Kitchen tools:
- Mixing bowl and spoon
- Cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
- Meat thermometer
Instructions:
- Lay down parchment paper on the cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all ingredients together, including the seasoning packet that comes in the biscuit mix.
- Scoop large tablespoon size portions of the mixture and roll each one into a smooth ball, placing on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Let cool for just a few minutes and then enjoy while they’re still warm. If you have any leftovers (you probably won’t), store for up to 3 days in an airtight food storage container in the fridge.
We recommend using a meat thermometer to ensure you bake the sausage balls until they’re thoroughly cooked without drying them out.
Christmas Morning Mimosas
It doesn’t get easier – or fancier! – than this! Enjoy the little bit of elegance a mimosa offers.
Standard Mimosa Ingredients:
- ½ cup chilled champagne
- ½ cup chilled orange juice
Equal parts of champagne and orange juice…that’s it! It really couldn’t be easier. This recipe makes two servings, so divide between glasses. If you feel a little extra fancy, consider one of these variations:
- Add ¼ cup of pineapple, cranberry, or pomegranate juice (increase the champagne by ¼ cup, too).
- Add 1 Tablespoon of Grand Marnier to each finished mimosa, stirring lightly to mix.
