Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 box (6 ounces) seasoned stuffing mix
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bring 1 cup water to a boil, stir in the seasoned stuffing mix, remove from heat, cover, and let sit until liquid is absorbed. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the prepared stuffing, ground sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
- Roll the mixture into 1‑inch balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the stuffing balls for about 1 hour to help them hold their shape (optional but recommended).
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until golden and fully cooked.
- Let cool a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use different flavored stuffing mixes or cheese blends for variety.
- Add dried herbs like sage or thyme for extra flavor.
- Mix in crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Chilling helps the balls maintain shape and improves texture.
- Serve warm with dipping sauces like ranch or gravy for parties.
