Sausage Balls

[disco]

Oh man Disco I just saw this...looks like those cheddar garlic biscuits from Red Lobster mixed with sausage! Yum! LIKE!

They are delicious but they are not biscuit like. The high sausage and cheese content makes them more sausage/cheese cooked texture than biscuit.

Thanks, CM! They are popular here.

Disco that is a fine looking sausage ball.Consider this recipe stolen Points
Richie

Considering the number of ideas I have stolen er borrowed from you I would consider that fair!

Those look fantastic Disco, my wife makes something similar using chicken.

Point for sure.

Thanks, Chris! How about posting your wife's chicken recipe. Sounds great!

Will do in the near future. It's basically chicken breast put through her grinder seasoned with minced garlic and onions, shredded cheddar cheese, ginger, butter, franks hot sauce, chili powder, baking soda, Italian seasoning,and paprika. Formed to about the size of a golf ball, dipped in an egg wash and coated with breadcrumbs. We used to deep fry them. Now I toss them on the Kettle using the Vortex at full throttle. We're trying to still enjoy some deep fried foods without actually deep frying them. Getting older. Sorry it's not a complete recipe.

man, those look like they should be topped with a sawmill gravy and served over a bed of scrambled eggs.

I may try a batch of these with CarbQuick instead of flour since I'm back on the low carb thing. Thanks for sharing!

CarbQuick?

Pretty neat Idea there Disco. I like that, going to put it onto the list and give it a try.

CarbQuick?

It's a low carb flour or bisquick substitute. Only 2 net grams per 1/3 cup. Not exactly like flour, but pretty dang close (especially as compared to totally doing without). Google it.

Well, I gotta say those look great Disco. Just mot sure how to get my MES up to 400 degrees and still have a smoker the next day. LOL.
So what's the secret to them not being greasy?? I've never had a sausage ball that wasn't.
POINT!!!

Thanks, Gary! The recipe was originally done in an oven so you can save your MES! The secret is to get just the right balance of biscuit and sausage. Most use more sausage and are therefore greasy.
