I used to live off of these when I was low carbing. They freeze really well. I also occasionally mixed in TVP (texturized vegetable protein) and flax for some extra fiber.

SERVES 12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs bulk pork sausage
1 lb ground beef
3 eggs
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

1
Mix all the ingredients together until thoroughly blended (it is best to use your hands or an electric mixer).
2
Form into about 4 dozen 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet or broiler pan.
3
Bake at 375°F for about 25 minutes.
4
Once they are cool, they can be sorted into individual zip bags and frozen for a grab-and-go breakfast.
5
NOTE: for Scotch Eggs, mold a bit of the raw meat mixture around a peeled hard-boiled egg (or eggs) and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

These are excellent!! I used hot sausage, as suggested by another reviewer, and just a smidge of creole seasoning (followed the rest of the recipe) and they came out so good!! I made balls out of most of them and patties out of a few. Will be making these often! Made these again using pepper jack cheese - Oh man!! So good!!!! Thanks for posting!

Delicious! I prepared as directed by the recipe, using 1 lb mild sausage and 1 lb. hot sausage. I did one boiled egg as a Scotch egg. I did not do more as Scotch eggs as I am going to freeze these and I was unsure how the egg would freeze. In my case, a lot of grease cooked out of these during the cooking process. I guess this is good because they were still good and all that grease cooking out means lower fat content! LOL! I am going to throw the ones left over in the freezer so I can grab a couple to have at work for breakfast. BTW, these could be so versatile if you are not low carbing, which I am not. You could patty them out and have a great breakfast sandwich! Great and easy recipe! Thanks Mercy!

These a wonderful variation on the traditional sausage ball. I made these for my husband to eat on his way to work in the morning, but I may make them for the holidays this year. Thanks for the recipe!
