Hi there! I made this mixture up last night and let it chill overnight to finish tonight. They are incredible and delicious! I used Bavarian sauerkraut to get the caraway punch. I also added 2 diced (seeded and ribbed) jalapenos and 1/4 diced red bell pepper to the saute pan with the sausage and onions. They rock! I love that they are baked as opposed to frying - so much easier. Great recipe - thanks so much! I'll be making these regularly. Wow.

OH YEAH...these sound amazing! I love Lacrenshaw's idea of using kielbasa! I think dipping them in mustard would be perfect! Okay...I'm definitely trying these soon! Thanks Luna, for telling us about this in the 'I Made It' group!!!

OMG!!! Lunasea was sooo right!!! These are amazingly good! I took Lacrenshaws advice and I used Kielbasa instead of ground hot pork sausage and it worked great! I didn't have to cook the Kielbasa so it made it even easier than it already was. I added some cayenne pepper to make up for the heat that the hot sausage would of had. I just used plain sauerkraut. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. These taste like a cheese dog with sauerkraut, all in one! I'm definitely making these for my next party! They are the perfect hor dervour! I served it with mustard for dipping! This made 44 meatballs. I think I'll have to triple the recipe next time! I added a photo!
