Try these tasty tidbits and see if your guests can guess how you made them.

2 1/2 to 3 cups sauerkraut
1 lb bulk pork sausage
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 onion, finely chopped
3 Tbsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried mustard
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp sugar
3/4 cup dried bread crumbs
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
bread crumbs for coating

Chop sauerkraut very finely and mix with the meats, onions, parsley, mustard, salt and pepper, and sugar. Cook this mixture in a large skillet over moderate heat until the meat is browned. Remove skillet from heat and stir in the bread crumbs. Slightly beat 1 egg and add to the meat mixture. Mix well and set aside to cool.

When cool, form into balls about the size of a walnut. Beat the remaining eggs together with the milk. Dip the balls into the egg mixture, then roll them in the crumbs, and place on a cookie sheet. Broil for about 1 minute then turn and broil on the other side.

The mixture can be prepared to the formation of the crumbed balls, refrigerated and broiled when needed.
