Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine sausage, bread crumbs, onion, and egg; mix well then form into 1/2-inch balls. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil; brown sausage balls 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour over sausage balls, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, or until no longer pink in center. Serve immediately.

Note:
These are traditionally served over rice or curly noodles. However, we also found these perfect as an appetizer served on toothpicks.

If you want to make these ahead of time, that's fine. Just reheat on a baking sheet in a 250 degree oven.
