Instructions

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the beef, veal, bread crumbs, onion, egg, soda water, seasoning blend, garlic, baking soda, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into small sausage shapes and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grill grate. Grill the cevapi sausages until they are nicely browned, approximately 5 minutes on each side.
