Ingredients

1 6 oz box stove top stuffing
1 cup boiling water
1 lb ground sausage
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot, stir in the stuffing mix to evenly incorporate, and set aside to let it cool completely.
Transfer the cooled moistened stuffing to a large mixing bowl. Add the cheese and sausage. Mix together until evenly combined.
Roll the sausage mixture into 1 - 1 1/2" balls and place them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do this until all the dough's been used.
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill the unbaked sausage balls for 1 hour.
Bake at 350° for 25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Notes

While any variety of stove top stuffing mix will work our favorites include: chicken, pork, or the sage flavors.
Use a quality sausage and quality cheese for this appetizer since those are the primary flavors that will shine through.
Don't forget to cover your baking pan with parchment paper! It makes cleanup easier and keeps the sausage balls from sticking to the pan.
