Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 slices of bacon, diced
  • 1-1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 10 mushrooms, diced
  • 1 large parsnip, shredded
  • 8 sage leaves, finely diced

Instruction

  • Over medium-high heat cook diced bacon pieces until they start to get crispy. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel covered plate to cool.
  • Place sausage in a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • If you are using a food processor, use the grating attachment.
  • Put the onion, mushrooms and parsnip through the food processor. Otherwise, if you are doing it by hand, dice the onion and mushrooms and then grate the parsnip.
  • Add onion, mushrooms and parsnip to the mixing bowl with the sausage. Add bacon pieces and sage also.
  • Preheat your oven to 400° Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Use your hands to combine all of the ingredients in your mixing bowl.
  • Form the mixture into oversized golf ball sized balls and place them on the lined baking sheet. It should make roughly 14-16 meatballs.
  • Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
  • Enjoy these breakfast balls with spinach, kraut and blueberries, or with eggs and spinach. Yum!
