2 1/2 cups no-salt-added chicken broth (or stock)

Vejledning

Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Pour oil in pan, then add sausage and cook 8–10 minutes, stirring to crumble, or until no pink remains. Add trinity mix to pan; cook 2–3 minutes or until vegetables soften. Add broth and stuffing mix to pan; cook 3–4 minutes or until stuffing has absorbed liquid. Remove pan from heat and let stand to cool. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with foil. Cut cheese into 30 (1/4-inch) cubes. Beat eggs in medium bowl; stir in cooled stuffing mixture. Form (or scoop) mixture into 30 (1 1/2-inch) balls, then press an indentation into center of each ball. Place 1 cheese cube into indentation and form stuffing around cheese to seal. Arrange poppers on baking sheet; bake 18–20 minutes or until lightly browned and sausage is 165°F. Serve poppers with cranberry sauce on the side (if using). (Makes 30 servings.)
