For a richer flavor, use a combination of sweet and hot Italian sausage. Ensure the baking mix is fresh for the best texture. Finely dicing the bell pepper and onion ensures even distribution and enhances the overall taste. Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or black olives to customize your pizza balls. For a cheesier experience, add a small cube of mozzarella directly into the center of each ball before baking. Store leftover pizza balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
