Sausage Spinach Balls

[rickymouse]

I suppose I could cut the recipe in half because I am not a guy who can handle having that much balls.

That would be too much to even make for a family picnic, we have around sixteen to eighteen people and there is always a lot of variety, we do potluck bringing of dishes with a main course.  as it is, a lot of to go containers wind up being made for everyone.  For a bigger get together it would be ok to make a big batch, but only about half of my family will eat anything with spinach in it and my two daughters and wife don't care for sausages....not even in Italian foods.  Pork makes them swell up for some reason.

This looks great DTOM!   I think I will make these Monday.   I think I will first caramelize the onions, because that always makes things better.   I wonder if it might be easier to cook them like fritters -- flattened, so you can turn them over.    Thank you much for the recipe and inspiration!

I never thought about flattening them as we've always cooked them in the oven in cooler weather.

For fritters, you may need to play around with the ingredients...it might be too dry a mix to flatten.
And thanks 

And see, you're right about caramelizing the onions....but use "economy" cooks want easier

Interesting you should bring up the quantity.  
There was only the two of us, so the recipe was far too large.

I would just make the balls onto waxed paper then flash freeze.  Stored in a container of freezer bag, I'd bake whatever number I needed.
