2 cups of milk
Grind together meat, onion and parsley. Brown in a skillet.

Add sauerkraut, grind again. Roll in flour, then dip in egg and roll in fresh bread crumbs. Deep fry until dark brown.
these were wonderful
ReplyDeleteThese were the best Sauerkraut Balls I had ever tasted...Before or after...We looked forward to when they would have these and always appreciated them...
ReplyDeleteCan you unravel my confusion as to what exactly to do from "Add flour, milk and mustard..." through "...bread crumbs."?
ReplyDeleteDo I add that to the meat I've just browned and then cook "until fluffy" and then roll into balls, roll into a little additional flour, dip in (surprise) eggs, roll in (an unexpected guest) bread crumbs and finally deep fry?
Thanks.
Can you tell this will be the first time I've done anything more challenging than use the microwave? ��
Sounds like u need help. Make the mixture into small balls less than 1 inch. Beat eggs well & dip balls in egg then roll in breadcrumbs
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely not .. they were horrible I don’t think this is the correct recipe. I followed it to the letter and it tastes like flour. On to finding a different recipe
ReplyDeleteI used this recipe a few years ago and thought the same thing too much flour.
DeleteI have concerns about the 2 cups of flour and milk. Seems like way too much. I worried about trying this and ruining a 1 1/12 pounds of meat.
ReplyDeleteNever went to Cedar Point without stopping at McGarveys for dinner on our way home when I lived in Cleveland but the best was while waiting for our table we sat at the bar and binged on sauerkraut balls 😍 Tried my first Frog Legs at the seafood buffet ... OMG wonderful memories ❤️
ReplyDeleteDO NOT ADD 2 CUPS OF FLOUR HERE!!!!! WRONG!!!!
ReplyDeleteis this the true receipe,if so it needs more detail directions,to combine mixture
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you published this recipe. My sister still lives in Vermilion and I have fond memories of eating at McGarvey's!
