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
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

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

Mercy, these are SO good! Thanks for posting them! I made them with 1lb sausage and about 2lbs ground beef, and instead of the onion flakes and pepper I used 2Tbsp of 3 Onion Dip Mix (by Epicure Selections) and 3Tbsp of ground Flax. Thanks for the fabulous recipe!

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!
