Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
- 2 cups Stuffing mix (herbed or seasoned)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 stalks Celery (chopped)
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs (lightly beaten)
- as needed Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and celery with the stuffing mix, sweet corn, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a small saucepan or microwave until warm. Gradually pour the warm broth over the stuffing mixture, stirring until the mixture is moist but not overly soggy.
Let the stuffing mixture cool slightly, then add the beaten eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the stuffing balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the stuffing balls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a standalone snack or a side dish!
