I'm sure several here have made sausage balls in the past and if
you're like me, was not enthused by the process. Mix, mix, mix,
blend, squish, squash, squish and mix again and again and again.
Dang, what a chore!

A few weeks ago I was perusing a cooking group and someone posted to
put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and using their mixer to do
all the work. The comment was this will take quite a while and you'll
think the mixture will never come together. This past week end I put
all the ingredients in the KitchenAid mixing bowl and used the K
beater and in less than 3 minutes ALL was beautifully combined! All
that was left to do was to roll this mixture into bite portions and
bake.

The process was SO fast I had not even turned on the oven to pre-heat
as I was assuming this would take much longer and I had plenty of time
to think of oven temperatures later. Needless the say the KitchenAid
artisan mixer handled this chore effortlessly. Next time I may try
the dough hook just to see what sort of results I achieve.

You're really nudging that part of me that *really* wants a KA stand
mixer. The part I keep shoving out of my mind.

Give in, give up, get one. I love mine and wouldn't trade it for any
other small appliance or gadget in the kitchen. They now come in such
beautiful colors!

I know! They sure know what they're doing making it in those colors,
they're more irrisistible than ever. How do they stack up as a meat
grinder, do you know? That could be another shove in the right direction.

Want me to gently twist your wrist a little ??? The shredder/slicer
attachment is fantastic! And the ice cream maker is another wonderful
attachment, also. I have yet to try the meat-grinder attachment, and
I'll have to give that a go soon -- maybe just as spring/summer gets
here, when it's a lot less cold and I can grill burgers!

I've got to disagree with you on that one. In fact, I've got one to give

My "problem" (all our problems should be this small) is where to
keep it and that I don't bake. So I have to justify it to myself and
then find a spot for it. One day I'm just going to say the hell with
it and buy one. In a pretty color.

I can't comment on the meat grinder as I don't have that attachment.
But when the KA is not in use it rests on top of my refrigerator,
covered. Believe me, this will build some nice upper arm muscles!! I
tell my family and co-workers if they don't see or hear from me for a
few days to come to the house to make sure the KA hasn't fell on me
and killed me! hahahaaaa

Btw, KitchenAid has rebates on their products quite often. And if you
have a Bed, Bath, & Beyond near you and have a 20% off coupon you can
save a nice chunk of change buying it there.

Even with a coupon, they're expensive! Looks like they are $400 on
sale.

it really happened, of course. Oh, but she looks so peaceful

A workable strategy to reduce the price is look for a place that
carries refurbished ones.
I got an Artisan for less that $200 that way - it works just fine.

You don't think you'll bake more if you buy one? If my family ate
things like cake, I might be more inclined to get one too. I've
adjusted how to make bread over the years, so I don't need a mixer
with a dough paddle anymore.

A beautiful Kitchen Ail mixer falls squarely in my 'want' column,
I sure don't need one.

I sure wouldn't buy one just to make cheese balls once or twice a year. And
I *know* I wouldn't use one more often than that. I'm simply not interested
in baking breads or mixing other dough-like substances these days. But hey,
if you want a KA mixer, knock yourself out

Jill

I don't bake either but it's because I hate to mix. With my new KA I have made two different batches of cookie dough in 30 minutes so I could bake with my granddaughters later. Love it love it love it! I am always looking for more uses to justify the cost. Plus I got rid of two more appliances with my shredder and meat grinder attachments. Soon I'll have the ice cream maker and be set!

The Kitchenaid mixer makes a great bread dough. I used it to make a cake for my daughter's birthday. I wasn't real happy with the way it came out so I made a second one. I used a hand whisk to beat the eggs. It was hard work but what's a labor of love if there's no labor involved? The recipe was an old classic: hot milk sponge cake. It's a wonderful, simple, cake.

Here's another nudge. But I'd forget the colors and try to find a
old KA, from when they were still made by Hobart. I occasionally
see them at yard sales. You could even luck out on freecycle.

That would be cool. You're the kind of person that finds incredible
stuff at yard sales. I find puzzles with pieces missing and chipped

Nancy, the only complaints I have about our 20+ year old KA stand
mixer are (A) it's an older model wherein removing the bowl after a
hard mix is a little difficult, (B) you can't scrape down the sides
while mixing, or at least it's slightly inconvenient. Eventually I'll
get one of those scraper-blade-paddles and (B) will no longer be an
issue.

If (when) I go shopping for one, I'll definitely check those features.

Oooooo, lucky you. I saw a Hobart truck the other day. Too bad

I also have a 10 quart honest-to-pete Hobart that's around my
age...but that one is in the lab for my rocket-scientist work :-).

It was given to me by a friend. I discovered quickly that 12 quart
bowls are much easier to find than 10 quart. And either one is about
the price of a new 4.5 quart KA mixer...

I recounted my sausage balls and KitchenAid mixer tale to a co-worker
late last week. She took her brand spanking new KA to her daughter's
house Wednesday night and they also did the sausage ball thang in the
mixer. She came in to work this morning telling me how eeeeeeasy and
quick this was and are sold on the idea of any future batches will
only be done in the mixer. I knew once she tried it she would be a
convert.

:-)

And I'm pleased as punch with that new 7 cup empire red food processor
I bought, also. The two slicing and chopping jobs went so fast I was
almost disappointed that I was done too soon. Clean up was quick with
some hot soapy dishwater, dish cloth, and a brush.

I picked up mine from Craigslist for $75.

I mean, when I saw that, there was really no reason NOT to get it.


I now affectionately refer to it as my "Kitchen Tractor".

My sister's favorite candy is divinity and I blew up two mixers making
it. One mixer was hand held, but the other was a Sunbeam. The
KitchenAid is doing fine, it hasn't failed me, yet.

It's the regular beater attachment that comes with the KitchenAid
stand and lift bowl models. They come with a dough hook, wire wisk,
and the regular mixing paddle known as the K beater. It's very
relaxed looking upside down triangle and the center portion looks like
a K.

I didn't it that hard at all. I mixed and balled them up.

I forgot I made these a couple months ago. Believe it or not, I've
never had these before and had to make them myself.

What are some good additions to sausage balls? Onions... fresh
diced jalapenos... what else?

Well dangit, I wish you would have come to my house and made these
things the first I ever attempted them. I was beginning to think
someone had not given me the entire ingredient list as they just
wouldn't hold together. But finally, FINALLY they did. I was pooped.

I've never had them with anything other than the flour/Bisquik mix,
shredded cheddar cheese, and the hot sausage. If you're using a good
quality breakfast sausage they don't need additions of onions,
jalapenos or anything else to mess/dress them up.

You might like a bit of jelly or other such breakfast condiment with
them, though.

Same here. I'd never made them before and I was really having
my doubts it was going to come together. Too late I remembered
being told to warm up the cheese and the sausage before trying
to mix them together. I think they finally came together because
the ingredients got warmer and warmer from being worked.
