Combine sausage, Cheddar cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, onion powder, seasoned salt, and dry mustard in a large bowl. Form into walnut-size balls and place on rimmed nonstick baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and no longer pink in the centers, about 20 minutes.

A mixture of sage, sausage, onion, garlic, and celery lends this stuffing classic flavor.

Allow the sausage balls to cool, then transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for three to four days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven.

Broth: Chicken broth keeps the stuffing moist without making it soggy. Eggs: Two lightly beaten eggs help hold the dressing together and add moisture. Water: You can add a few tablespoons of water, if you'd like, to achieve your desired consistency.

Some people make the distinction that dressing is the proper name for the dish when it has been prepared outside of the bird—that is, when it has not been stuffed and cooked inside.

Typically these balls, when made into round shapes using a cookie scoop and rolling in your hands, should retain their round shape. One reason some flatten when cooking if when pre-shredded cheese was used in the recipe. Pre-shredded cheese doesn't hold up as well as if you shred the cheese by hand from a block cheese.

Put the sausages in a pan with a little cooking fat over a moderate heat and leave them to cook for a while. Shake the pan back and forth a few times to get them rolling in the pan and continue cooking.
