• Gently push the stuffing mixture into the corner of your mixing pan and allow to sit for 30 minutes to absorb the liquid in the bread.
• Form the stuffing into small balls similar to a baseball.
• You may freeze the balls at this point by arranging on a baking sheet and flash freezing.
• When frozen, place stuffing balls in the bread bag wrappers.
• When ready to bake, place balls in a 9 x 13 inch pan with about 1/4" hot broth in the bottom of the pan.

• Remove the sausage from casings, then place the sausage in a skillet; brown over medium heat breaking up the meat into very small pieces while cooking (about 8 minutes) set aside.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in the same skillet; add in onion and celery; sauté for about 5-6 minutes or until very soft (adding in the garlic the last 2 minutes of cooking).
• Add in the cooked sausage back to the skillet, then add in the chicken broth; bring just to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits in the bottom of the skillet, then place the sausage/onion mixture into a large bowl.
• Add in the stuffing mixture packet along with the chopped cranberries, Parmesan cheese and eggs; mix until well combined.

• Cover and chill the mixture for about 2 hours.
• Using moistened hands form the mixture into small even balls and place the balls into a shallow greased casserole dish.
• If you find that the mixture is too moist and will not hold together well just add in a little dried bread crumbs, if it is too dry add in more broth or water, add in just enough to hold the balls together when shaped.
• Brush or drizzle the balls with melted butter.
• At this point you can cover the balls and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to bake later.
