Sausage Stuffing Balls Recipe

My favorite cornbread stuffing, made with chicken sausage and tons of sage, and then baked into stuffing balls for a beautiful presentation. The perfect addition to your holiday table!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 cup celery chopped

• 1/2 cup apple cider
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter, onions, celery, bell pepper, and apple. Saute for about 15 minutes until very soft.
2. Season the vegetable mixture with salt and sage. Add the sausage, and continue to cook until sausage is cooked through.
3. Add the apple cider and chicken broth, and simmer until the liquid is reduced to half.
4. Add the cornbread, and stir well to combine, then remove from heat.
5. Once the mixture has had 5 minutes to cool down, add a beaten egg, and then stir to coat.
6. Bake in the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven for 15 minutes on 400 degrees F.
7. Serve as a side at a holiday meal, or as a main course for a festive winter dinner.
