Sausage stuffing balls

These little stuffing balls are so simple to make, and they are a lot cheaper to make and get so much more.

I like to serve them alongside my festive dinner or with my Roast Chicken. You could always simply have these as you main meat for a dinner with mash, veg and gravy! They don’t need to be served as a side.
