In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bratwurst, ground sausage, sauerkraut, chopped onion, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Prepare the Mixture

Form the Balls

In a separate bowl, place the bread crumbs. In another bowl, beat the egg. Dip each meatball into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in the bread crumbs until fully coated.

Prepare Breading

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

Heat the Oil

Carefully add the breaded balls to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve the brat n' kraut balls hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
