Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground pork sausage
  • 6 oz boxed stuffing mix
  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth, low sodium
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Combine the dry stuffing mix and chicken broth in a large mixing bowl. Allow the mixture to sit for 3 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed. Note: This prevents the bread from being crunchy or gritty in the final bite.
  2. Add the cold ground sausage, freshly grated cheddar cheese, beaten egg, and garlic powder to the hydrated stuffing.
  3. Mix the ingredients by hand until just combined and the cheese is evenly distributed. Note: Overworking the meat will make the balls dense and rubbery.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into 1 inch (2.5cm) rounds.
  5. Roll the portions lightly between your palms until they form smooth, cohesive spheres.
  6. Arrange the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving about 2cm of space between each one.
  7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes until the exterior is mahogany brown and sizzling.
  8. Check for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure the pork is safe.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them rest on the tray for 5 minutes. Note: This allows the cheese to set so they don't fall apart when you pick them up.
  10. Serve warm while the aroma is at its peak.
