I have been making these since I got a divorce back in 2007 and I needed something to do with my time so I created. I found a similar recipe and just added my touch to it. I make my own hot kraut every year and this is what I use. I also create my own breadcrumbs in which I mentioned how to do in the discussion group. My homemade hot kraut works wonderful in this I like a kick to these balls. I make them only around the holidays and I never have any to freeze, that's how good they are.
