Sausage Stuffing Bites with Cranberry Dipping Sauce

Helpful Tips

• Use firm stuffing: If your stuffing is very soft or mushy, it can be hard to form into balls. Add a little more sausage or breadcrumbs to help bind.
• Don’t skip the dipping sauce: The cranberry dipping sauce is easy to make with only 3 ingredients and will leave a lasting impression.
• Make ahead friendly: You can roll the balls ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze until you’re ready to bake.
