I doubled this recipe, but instead of another pound of sausage I used a pound of ground round. This made a very delicious meatball. I rolled them small, baked them and set them out as appetizers. Excellent! -
These were delicious!! Was not sure about putting them in the oven but they came out beautiful golden brown, I used parchment on the baking sheet. I should have used one egg because mine were large and made the mix a bit too wet. I left it in the fridge for an hour to firm up and make more workable. I also used all the optionals mentioned in the recipe. Will make them again as a snack or as a main dish! -
Good! I made with red pepper flakes. Easy to do. Thanks for posting. -
Aroostook, These are so easy to make, I only used 1 egg and they came out perfectly! I also used grated onion as I didnt have onion powder, and they were delicious. I made them a little smaller for appetizers and made about 30. I will be making more as I am freezing them for a party early next month, and I am sure they will be gobbled down really fast! Thanks Aroostook, another winner of a recipe from you!

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
