How To Make Stuffing Balls
Preheat Oven & Sauté Vegetables:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and cook the chopped onion for about 10 minutes until softened. Add celery, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix the toasted low-carb bread with the cornbread stuffing. Add the beaten egg and ¾ cup of chicken broth. Stir well, then add the sautéed vegetables and seasoning mixture. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Form & Bake:
Shape the mixture into small, firm balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
Finish the Baking:
Carefully pour the remaining chicken broth over the stuffing balls. Place back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm on the outside.
Serve these flavorful stuffing balls hot, and watch them disappear quickly—they’re the perfect side dish for holidays or any cozy family dinner!
