How To Make saucy sausage corny balls - cassies

  • 1
    In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the butter, celery and onion. Saute the vegetables until tender and just starting to brown...the butter may start to brown as well, that just adds to the flavor. Make sure it doesn't burn though.

    In a large bowl, pour in the 2 boxes of stuffing mix. To that add the chicken broth, eggs, corn, onions, celery, butter that onions and celery cooked in, sausage, salt and pepper. Mix well.

    Preheat oven to 375 degree F. In a 9 x 13 baking dish, mix the soup and milk with a whisk. This will be a gravy that the balls will bake in.

    With your hands grab a good portion of the mixture and squeeze to shape like a ball. I used as much as would fit in the palm of my hand. Place the balls in the gravy. You should get at least 12. I then had some left over gravy I drizzled over each one...up to you. Cover and place in preheated oven. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes. Can take the foil off when about 10 minutes are left, if you want them a little crispy on the outsides.
