For a crispier exterior, broil the sausage balls for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. Experiment with different sausage varieties, such as Italian sausage or chorizo, for a unique flavor profile. Serve with a variety of dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, sriracha mayo, or a creamy horseradish sauce.

StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place a wire rack on top. (5 minutes)
02
StepThoroughly drain the sauerkraut by placing it in a colander and pressing out excess liquid with the back of a large spoon. Flake the drained sauerkraut into a large mixing bowl. (10 minutes)
03
StepAdd the pork sausage to the bowl with the sauerkraut. Using your hands or a sturdy spoon, mix the ingredients until thoroughly combined. (5 minutes)

StepBake in the preheated oven until the sausage is cooked through and the balls are nicely browned, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). (30-40 minutes)
