"A winning combination of a few recipes. I made these as an appetizer for Easter 2007. If bulk sausage is not available simply remove link sausage from casing."

Outstanding appetizer!! I wouldn't change a thing. I used link italian sausage and removed the casings. Also used 2 garlic cloves. Making these in the food processor made it very easy. I did need 2 9x13 pans for this recipe. I will be making these again often. Thanks Richard for sharing this recipe! Made for My-3-Chefs.
