Semmelknödel are an amazingly delicious way to use leftover bread and soak up some sauce! They are a staple food in Germany. I can feel my Oma applauding me from heaven because I know how much she appreciated not throwing away food. Serve with Jägersoße or as a side with Rinderrouladen or Sauerbraten. For a fun twist, try serving Semmelknödel at Thanksgiving as a stuffing alternative!
