Tasted great! Served them over egg noodles with a mushroom gravy and green beans. I didn't have fresh herbs on hand so I subbed 1 tbsp italian blend seasoning and panko bread crumbs for the flour.

Steps

1

Remove the Italian sausage from its casing. Mix all of the ingredients, except bacon fat, together until well combined. With lightly oiled hands, roll the meatballs into the desired size.
2

To cook, heat bacon fat in a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meatballs. Fry 5–7 minutes, until bottom is browned.
3

Turn meatballs to opposite side and fry until that side is nicely browned, another 5–7 minutes.
4

Cut one open to determine if it is fully cooked on the inside. If not quite done, turn heat to low and cover pan for a few more minutes or put meatballs in a warm oven while you fry another batch.
