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!

Quit shoving it and get that KA. You won't be sorry.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What is a K beater - the dough paddle?

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.

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

I could kid myself and say yes, but baking really isn't my thing.

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

That would be cool. You're the kind of person that finds incredible

(laughing!) Oh, just the picture in my mind, too funny. Not if
it really happened, of course. Oh, but she looks so peaceful
lying there, and the mixer is such a lovely color!

I make bread dough in my FP, cookies by hand or hand mixer, not many
cakes and the one I do make only requires a wooden spoon, frosting by
hand or hand mixer, I buy tortillas (because I'm the worst tortilla
maker on the face of this planet), cheesecake - hand mixer. I've
adjusted. If I got a stand mixer, it would be for the attachments...
and who knows how much I'd use them once the newness wore off?

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.

The KitchenAid artisan with 5 quart bowl is always around $199 at
BB&B. The coupon will knock $40 off the top and the rebate is
normally around $20. The professional series which has the bowl lift
are the much pricier ones.

No kidding. They really did make workhorses back then. I guess
there isn't a lot of money in making things that never wear out.

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?

That's not too bad if you get all those discounts then. I bought one
to give as a gift, but don't remember the little ones coming in any
color except white for sale purposes.

My mother had a Dormeyer stand mixer. When she died I looked for it but
it was gone. Nice mixer, much nicer than I appreciated at the time.

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.

I *think* I've seen their hand mixers for sale on QVC in colors. But
I don't recall seeing them in retail stores with a choice of any color
but white.

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.

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.

Cool.

I have a kitchenaid. Never thought of using it to mix sausage spices.

The BB&B coupon that I was looking at today said it couldn't be
used on KA items.

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!

Sky, who just loves to spend other folks' money <G>

P.S. Be sure to use that 20%-off coupon at BB&B! Usually the KA
Artisan is about $270 - do the math )

What type of coupon was this?? I've used the 20% off coupons on
KitchenAid stuff, twice with no problem at all, once was for the
mixer. They gladly accepted it.

Well dang! Perhaps BB&B (or maybe KA?) decided to add that disclaimer to
their (BB&B's) 20%-off coupons - Bummer!

Uhmm..... I haven't seen the "Artisan" (5 quart) style of KA mixer(s)
for less than $269 (with rebate included) for quite a long time. I
have, however, seen less robust 4.5-quart models (Ultra? or called
something like that?) listed at $199. But, a KA is a KA, eh? Even the
$199 model would be very nice to have in the kitchen!

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

I've got to disagree with you on that one. In fact, I've got one to give
away; anybody within 100 miles of Sacramento want it?
