Sausage And Sauerkraut Balls Recipes

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.
