Ingredients

1 (6oz) box StoveTop stuffing (chicken or turkey)

- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the contents of the StoveTop stuffing and stir well. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the uncooked sausage, prepared stuffing, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Roll the mixture into small, tightly packed 1-inch balls.
- Place the sausage balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate them for at least an hour or overnight.

Notes
- Make sure to refrigerate the sausage balls before baking to help them hold their shape.
