Sweet Potato & Chorizo Balls

Thanksgiving is only a couple weeks away, which seems totally insane to me. This year has been a doozy, so I am fully embracing the holidays as much as possible to bring some joy to end of 2020. Thanksgiving make look like an intimate family affair or maybe a Friendsgiving with your besties. Either way, it’s a time to come together in community and give thanks. And eat, of course. Thanksgiving is a time for all the cinnamon, sweet potato and pumpkin flavors your heart desires. 

 

I haven’t even began to plan my menu yet, because 2020…but I do know what appetizer I will be serving. Do y’all know the classic sausage ball that is at every shower or party?? If you grew up in the south, you didn’t go to any sort of function that didn’t have these on the table. This Sweet Potato & Chorizo Ball is a fall take on that delicious little appetizer. 

 

It’s mixes the things we love about fall with a spicier sausage that makes a delicious appetizer that will be gone in minutes!
