HAWAIIAN SAUSAGE SKILLET

I made this up one day when I couldn't find a recipe anywhere with these ingredients. So I kind of threw it together on a whim. Sugar can be adjusted for sweetness, and if the sauce gets a bit thicker than desired I suggest adding a little chicken broth as it's thickening. Serve immediately over rice.

Tips for Making Hawaiian Sausage Balls with Pineapple:

  • For the best flavor, use a good quality sausage. A spicy sausage will give the sausage balls a nice kick, while a mild sausage will be more kid-friendly.
  • Be sure to grate the onion and pineapple finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the sausage balls.
  • Don't overmix the sausage mixture. Overmixing will make the sausage balls tough.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to drop the sausage mixture into the hot oil. This will help you get evenly sized sausage balls.
  • Fry the sausage balls until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the sausage balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce. A sweet and sour sauce or a honey mustard sauce are both good options.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian sausage balls with pineapple are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage. The sweet and savory flavors of the sausage and pineapple go perfectly together, and the crispy coating makes them irresistible. Give this recipe a try next time you are looking for a fun and festive appetizer.
