HOW CAN IT BE BAD with Sriracha in it?????? Sounds like a cool recipe, you will definately have to give an update. By the way that bottle still looks pretty full, how do you like it?

NePaS,
I have that same recipe.  As I was reading your post and saw bake at 400 I thought "hhmm, a Traeger or a MAK will easily reach that temp.  Smoke 'em!" and of course I should have known you were on the same wavelength way ahead of me.  I'm betting those will be awesome!

Theey do look great, I'll have to see if I can do some in TBE this weekend for Sunday dinner! Since were on a low carb (eating plan) I bet I could make these fit right in.   ;D

I'm guessing 2 cups of Bisquick (at about 80g of carbohydrates per cup) may shoot down that plan.  But make it anyway; the taste is worth the effort.

Based on your estimate and 21 sausage balls, that's only about 7.6g of carbs per ball.  Not too bad.  And, look at all the great protein and fat yer getting besides,

Here is a "low carb" Bisquick clone:

I don't profess to know anything about it...  I just saw the link somewhere else.

Rick, those look great.  :)
One question, why did you not wrap a couple of those bad boys with bacon?  ???

Sure, Arnie... Who's going to be able to eat just 3 to stay below the 25g/day level?

Wrapped in bacon, would that make them Oinkoink balls?

Those look great Rick.  Gonna be doing them soon!

Well KH, at three per day you have a weeks worth  ;D  No other carbs though  :-[

Seriously, it sounds like you're in the early stage of the Atkins diet or something similar.  I've been there and done that.  It's brutal and probably isn't good for you.  Send me a PM if you want any personal experience.

Could you not make them without the bisquick? I say make them and wrap in bacon or ham then cook. What ya' think?   I always try to get bacon in somewhere!   ;D

We make them up like 200-300 at a time. Freeze them up, then put them in the zip-lock freezer bags.
You can then grab a handful and stick them in the oven when ever you feel the erge for some. There done real quick even when there froozen. You know I'll be darn if I can remember where we saw the recipe at, been making then for about 5 years now. There good to if you mix in some chopped up jalapeno, we call'em cherry bombs then.

I'm not on the diet (I'm older and smarter than that); the original question was from Tommy (TMB).

So, maintaining all dietary boundaries (and keep in mind, Bubba don't count so good)...
Would it not be better to 1) wrap in bacon 2) smoke till crispy nice 3) beer batter 4) deep fry 5) serve with bacon butter...???
