Happy New Year & My "Famous" Sauerkraut Balls

Happy 2016! 

We made many great memories in 2015 but I am excited for the beginning of a new year. Honestly, 2015 was exhausting - maybe that comes with the fun! 

In our home, every January 1st is met with a big batch of Sauerkraut Balls. My recipe is always a winner so I thought I would share for all to enjoy!


// Sauerkraut Balls //

Ground sausage - 1 lb., we prefer hot
Onion - 1/4 c. chopped
Sauerkraut - 14 oz. drained (I prefer Vlasic)
Cream cheese - 3 oz. softened
Bread crumbs - 1/2 c. plus more for rolling
Yellow mustard - 1 tsp. 
Garlic powder - 1/2 tsp. 
Black pepper - 1/8 tsp. 
Flour - enough to roll balls in
Egg/milk mixture - enough to roll balls in
Bread crumbs - enough to roll balls in

Directions:
- Cook sausage and onion. Drain excess grease and let cool. 
- Combine sauerkraut, breadcrumbs, cream cheese, mustard, garlic powder and pepper in separate bowl. 
- Add cooled sausage mixture and combine. 
- Chill mixture. 
- Roll into 3/4 inch balls (I use a cookie scoop). 
- Coat in flour then egg/milk then breadcrumbs. 
- Cook in hot oil (350 degrees) until golden brown. 
- Serve with stone ground mustard. Enjoy! 

I hope you enjoy these as much as our family! Happy New Year and cheers to an amazing 2016! And in the words of a friend "I love amazing!" 

PS - Diet/healthy eating resolutions begin on January 2nd! Although, I did hit a barre class this morning. Excited for it to finally exist at my gym.
