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)
• 0 as needed Cooking spray or oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and celery with the stuffing mix, sweet corn, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Let the stuffing mixture cool slightly, then add the beaten eggs and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Using your hands or a cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the stuffing balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

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!
