Sausage Balls

1 small package Bisquick
1 lb. uncooked sausage (we prefer hot)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp. sour cream
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

Mix together the Bisquick and sausage until well blended. Add the remaining ingredients. Form balls from tablespoons. Bake at 400 degrees until slightly brown, about 7 minutes.

This is a recipe that my Mom has been making for a long time, and it came from an old Methodist Church cookbook that she has (old church cookbooks are the best!). We used to make sausage balls with just the sausage, Bisquick, and cheese. They were good, but these are oh so amazing. The worcestershire sauce and sour cream add a great dimension to them. I like to let them cook for a little bit longer than suggested. By doing so, it creates a crispness to the bottom that is out of this world. Dip these in some good French Onion Dip, and you have one of our family's favorite appetizers ever. They never make it at Christmas!

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

1 lb. chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
8 8-inch flour tortillas, softened
1 1/2 cup Mexican Blend Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 (15 oz.) can chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
4 oz. sliced jalapenos (or more to taste)

In a small pan, cook onion in vegetable until transluscent. Mix onions with shredded chicken. Divide chicken mixture evenly between 8 tortillas; add 1 1/2 Tbsp. cheese to each tortilla. Roll enchiladas and place seam-side down in lightly greased 9x13" baking dish.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan; stir in flour to make a roux; stir and cook until bubbly. Gradually whisk in chicken broth then bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and jalapenos. Pour sauce evenly over enchiladas. Top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce near edges of baking is bubbly.

I was lucky enough to have all of last week off, which gave me the opportunity to try a few new recipes. Even Vann got to try his hand at a new recipe for my birthday dinner. All of the recipes that we tried came out great! I was really sad, actually, that I didn't have more planned for the week. But between getting ready for our Christmas, and then our trip to Nashville, we really didn't have a chance.

This recipe was so easy to throw together, and I can definitely say that it will become a part of our regular rotation. This year has definitely been a crazy one, and I look forward to starting the New Year off by consistently keeping up with our website!
