While this recipe doesn't technically involve stuffing a protein, vegetable, or carb, it had to be included in my book because the word "stuffing" is in the name! I've always found traditional Thanksgiving stuffing served in a big dish to be less than appealing, so I came up with the idea to make individual stuffing balls. It's a brilliant concept because everyone gets their own serving without the mess of a big pan. Be sure to make extra in case some people want more than one! You can also omit the sausage if you prefer to make this a vegetarian dish. It's versatile enough to be served year-round and doesn't have to be reserved exclusively for Thanksgiving. So whenever you make it, you'll be enveloped in the delightful aromas and memories of the holiday season!
