Blue Balls

We've served these maple blueberry muffin stuffed sausage balls tailgating football games and at several Big Green EggFests, and they really go over well!   They are a great combination of sweet and savory - just what you would want for a tasty breakfast or even a dessert.  Why try to categorize - they are just good!  haha

The gooey blueberry muffin in the middle of the savory sausage is usually a big surprise to anyone that tries one.

Most of my measurements are estimates...sorry about that!

Enjoy!

Blue Balls

Sweet maple blueberry muffin stuffed sausage meatballs
Course: Breakfast, party, tailgate
Cuisine: American, Barbecue
Keyword: blueberry, maple, meatball, Sausage

Ingredients

  • 6 blueberry muffins
  • 1-2 cup Maple Syrup inexpensive/artificial "Mrs Butterworth" type is fine
  • 1-2 cup frozen blueberries
  • 2 lbs Breakfast Sausage Jimmy Dean Maple Breakfast Sausage tube is my favorite

Instructions

  • break apart blueberry muffins in a bowl
  • add maple syrup to create a thick muffin/syrup "sludge"
  • add frozen blueberries and mix to combine
  • freeze until it thickens (I usually let it freeze overnight) The syrup won't let it get completely hard
  • flatten a small ball of the sausage in the palm of your hand (helps to wear latex style gloves)
  • using a small melon baller, scoop out a bit of the frozen muffin/syrup mash, and set in the middle of the flattened sausage
  • carefully wrap the sausage around the frozen ball of blueberry mash, making sure the whole ball is covered in sausage
  • place on a plastic tray and freeze (take care that the meatballs aren't touching each other)
  • Once they are frozen, they can be stored in a container/bag until ready to cook
  • Cook indirect at 350F until 165F internal temperature (approximately 30-35 minutes)

    We tried these recent egg fest in Bonita Springs Florida, they were fantastic! So was the bread pudding that they made.
