Serves: 8

Ingredients :

Sausage Stuffing Bites

• 2.5 cups Homemade Stuffing or Stove Top

• ½ pound of hot Italian sausage 

• ½ pound of mild Italian sausage
• Pinch of sea salt
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
• ¼- ½ cup chicken broth
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries minced
• ½ cup of shredded cheese cheddar

Cranberry Dipping Sauce

• 1 cup cranberry sauce either homemade or canned WHOLE BERRY
• ¼ cup of orange juice

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all stuffing ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix with your hands.
• Using a cookie scoop, (or hands) scoop the sausage balls onto a greased baking pan OR a baking pan lined with parchment paper. I prefer the parchment paper method for easy clean up. You should get about 40 sausage bites.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, till they are browned on top.
• While they are baking, prepare the cranberry sauce in a small saucepan. Combine the ingredients, stirring frequently to help break the cranberry sauce down. Simmer until sauce has thicken a little.
• Place dipping sauce in a serving bowl and surround with Sausage Stuffing Bites.
