Sausage Stuffing Balls

  4.6 – 41 reviews  • Pork

With tofu, mushrooms, coconut milk, and rice noodles, this soup has a Thai influence. Noodles will soak up all the broth if soup and noodles are cooked together in the same pot. Use three pieces of dried galangal if you don’t have any fresh galangal on hand.

I should have read the comments first, wayyyyy too soggy.
Heidi Montes
These took longer than 15 min to cook and I too added more stuffing than the recipe called for.
Daniel Baker
My family loved these..no leftovers..
Greg Hansen
Make these often for my teenage son. He loves them!

I used one box of low sodium stove top stuffing, about one cup of shredded cheddar and kept everything else the same. Oh, i did use a little over a pound of Italian sausage. Made two sample meatballs in the microwave to taste for seasoning. I am glad I used low sodium stuffing. otherwise it would have been too salty. I will make this often. Thank You for the great appetizer recipe.
David Carter
I added dried cranberries to create Thanksgiving appetizers. (Seeped the cranberries in hot water a bit first). It’s like a Thanksgiving meal in every meatball! Great recipe. Thanks!

I used one box of Stove Top turkey flavor stuffing mix, added 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese I omitted the onions and celery and baking powder, because I was running out of time. I lined the bottom of the baking dish with foil. Because I had couple of dishes cooking at the same time . I cooked the stuffing balls at 350 the whole time . I was not sure how they were going to taste, so I asked my husband and daughter to sample the stuffing balls, I had to stop them from eating the the whole tray of stuffing balls before our guess arrived.I severed them as an appetizer, they were a big hit. what’s on the menu for dinner tonight stuffing balls
Adam Aguilar
this was a big hit this year for Christmas eve dinner. like others i used twice what the recipe called for for the stuffing. did not use the extra onion/celery. the few we had leftover were great for breakfast the next day with some leftover deviled eggs! thanks for the post GINGERCHANCEFELIX!
Pamela Bradshaw
Liked it a lot! Had to use a whole box of stuffing, but I also had a bit more sausage I was using up from breakfast. Didn’t read the reviews until they were in the oven, & wished I had added cheese, but after trying them they really didn’t need it! These were delicious as-is! My 9 yr old who doesn’t like the Bisquick Sausage Ball recipe LOVED LOVED them! Thanks so much for the recipe!
Bridget Rivera
Thank you the whole family loved this. I just added one more step. I crushed an additional amount of stuffing and rolled the balls in this before popping them in the oven. When they had 5 minutes left I raised the temp to 400 to crisp the outside a little. Very Yummy.

1st -I used 1.25 lbs of sausage, one full box of herb stuffing, 3/4 c. water,one onion, 1 egg, 1 block of shredded swiss cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. I rolled into balls & baked at 425 degrees until brown. 2nd-1.23 lbs of sweet sausage, 1 diced tomato, 1 box of cornbread stuffing, 2 cups of mozzarella, 1 egg, 1/4 c. hot water. Roll into balls & bake at 375 till browned.

This was very good. I made a few adjustments: cooked stove top chicken according to package. Browned Hot Breakfast Sausage; added 1 cup of cheddar cheese to cooked sausage; then added sausage mix to prepared stuffing mix. Rolled out balls and cooked 30 minutes; uncovered for 30 min. Family enjoyed them; even my son that will not try the dressing during our Thanksgiving dinner
Michael Li
Made these during the holidays and they were a big hit at parties.
Olivia Key
These were soooo good! Exactly what I expected. I used chicken broth instead of water because I had some to use up, and I didn’t add celery (not a big fan). My house smelled like Thanksgiving! So Yummy!!!
Thomas Farrell
After I read all the reviews, I made one 6oz of chicken Stove Top according to the package directions, and mixed a bit of minced onion and italian blend shredded cheese (what I had on hand) with the uncooked hot sausage and then blended in the stuffing. Rolled into balls and cooked according to directions. Everyone raved about these all night! I served them with marinara, but they were good without it too! I will definitely be making these again. Thanks for the recipe!
Scott Padilla
This is great and very easy to modify. I already made twice. I made my own pork sausage, used bread crumbs, didn’t add water but about a tbsp of olive oil, some lightly toasted chopped pine nuts one time and grated feta cheese another. One time used the onion and celery and one time didn’t. Added various spices and forgot the baking powder one time and they still came out great. Thanks so much. Everyone loved these.
Whitney Richardson
they were ok, a little bland.
Jessica Le
I didn’t like the proportion of sausage to stuffing mix. I felt like there was too much sausage, so I decreased the sausage and added more stuffing. It was still a little runny, so I added some Bisquick to thicken it up. They turned out good. I served them for a party and was told that they were really good.
Antonio Frye
i love these and we have a recipe and we have one just like it only with cheese!!!!!!! it soooooooooo goood bluebrid.14!
Gwendolyn Johnson
These were really good! We used the stovetop as others suggested, and made our own sausage gravy to go with it. One of the best flavored meatballs we have ever had.
Stephanie Steele
Loved these! Actually made them for breakfast and my kids raved over them. Even my picky eater! I used a gluten-free savory stuffing mix and added a handful of shredded cheese, and left out the onions and celery (only because I didn’t have time to chop them) and they were terrific. I have some in the oven right now baking for supper. Great dipped in honey mustard sauce or alone! Thanks for the super recipe, now one of my “go-to’s” 2-1-11 Making this again as we wait for the blizzard to roll in. They smell so good! I used the gluten-free stuffing mix again and doubled the recipe…got 55! I get sausage from a local butcher shop that has FANTASTIC sausage. I think the kind of sausage you use will make a BIG difference in how these taste. Don’t waste your money and time on cheap ingredients if you can help it, buy good quality meat and they’ll always be good!
