Best Easy Sauerkraut And Sausage Balls Recipes

SCRUMPTIOUS SAUERKRAUT BALLS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, fry pork sausage and onion until sausage is evenly brown and onion is soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
• Crumble sausage mixture into a large bowl and add drained sauerkraut, mustard, garlic salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons bread crumbs. Combine cream cheese and parsley, and mix into sauerkraut mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Shape sauerkraut mixture into 3/4 inch balls. Coat balls with flour. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Dip floured balls in egg mixture and then roll in remaining bread crumbs.
• Deep fry in batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the potatoes in oil for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in onion; saute for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Add the sausage, sauerkraut and pepper. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

SAUSAGE AND SAUERKRAUT BALLS

Steps:

• Instructions Brown the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart. Stir in the onion and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, or until onions are soft. Set aside. Drain the sauerkraut through a fine mesh strainer to remove as much liquid as possible; transfer to a large mixing bowl. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked sausage and onion into the mixing bowl, then stir to combine. Fold in the mustard and garlic powder followed by the cream cheese and ¼ cup of the panko. Mix until very well combined, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Using your hands, shape the mixture into 20 2-inch balls and transfer to a baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 60 minutes. Create a dredging station by placing the flour, beaten egg and remaining panko in three separate shallow bowls. Dredge each ball in the flour, followed by the egg, then the panko. Set a large nonstick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to just barely coat the bottom. Once hot (the oil will shimmer), add breaded balls in a single layer, making sure not to crowd the pan. Work in batches, if necessary. Pan fry for about 8 minutes, rotating every couple of minutes to brown evenly on most sides. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Baked option: Bake breaded sausage and sauerkraut balls at 400˚F on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20 minutes. They will be lighter in color and less crispy than the pan fried option. Serve alongside mustard for dipping. Interested in making this recipe? Order the ingredients online for Curbside Grocery Pickup or Delivery.
