Sausage Sauerkraut Balls Recipe

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground pork sausage
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground dry mustard
  • 4 drops hot pepper sauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut – drained, rinsed and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Place ground pork sausage and onion in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and stir in all-purpose flour, dry mustard and hot pepper sauce. Whisk in milk. Stirring constantly, continue cooking approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in dried parsley and sauerkraut.
  3. Place butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish, and melt in the preheated oven.
  4. In a small bowl, stir together the eggs and cold water.
  5. Roll the sausage mixture into 1 inch balls. Dip sausage balls into the egg and water mixture, then roll them in the bread crumbs.
  6. Arrange coated sausage balls in the baking dish in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven approximately 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes, until golden brown.
