Sausage Balls

When someone first gave me this recipe for sausage balls, they said the little pork meatballs were for soup. I think they are much more versatile than that. Look below for my suggestions on how to use these delicious meatballs.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound sausage meat, raw
  • 1 egg
  • 4 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped (or a large pinch of dried)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, or a pinch of dried
  • 6 tablespoons bread crumbs, toasted

Instructions
 

  • If the sausage meat is in links, take the meat out of the casing. Combine all the ingredients. Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls.
  • To use them in soup: Drop them into boiling soup or stock. Reduce the heat at once and simmer the soup until the balls are done, about 30 minutes.
  • To use them on their own or for other uses: Heat a saute pan and fry the meatballs until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
