Savory Sauerkraut and Sausage Balls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sauerkraut and Sausage Balls.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a baking sheet and line it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

3. Step 3

   To ensure your sausage balls cook evenly, place a wire rack on top of the foil.

4. Step 4

   Next, let’s tackle the sauerkraut.

5. Step 5

   Drain it by placing it in a colander in the sink, and use the back of a large spoon to press out as much liquid as you can.

6. Step 6

   Once drained, flake the sauerkraut into a large mixing bowl, letting its tangy flavor shine through.

7. Step 7

   Now, it’s time to add the star of the show: bulk pork sausage.

8. Step 8

   Toss it into the bowl with the sauerkraut and mix everything together until it’s well combined, creating a deliciously savory blend.

9. Step 9

   With your hands, form the mixture into quarter-sized balls, and arrange them on the wire rack, giving them a little space to breathe.

10. Step 10

    Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the magic happen for about 30 to 40 minutes.
