Sauerkraut Balls

 Melissa says:
When I make my sourkraut balls, I do not use milk or thyme (though thyme sounds good). I use parsley flakes, bread crumbs, dry mustard, garlic salt, black pepper.... And I mix different kinds of Bob Evans breakfast sausage.

 Aunt Tina (California) says:
This recipe is the closest I have seen to the perfect sauerkraut balls. I am using chicken stock (and a little reserved kraut juice) instead of milk and no thyme. Also, I am using equal sausage, ground beef and ground ham.
