Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon-Wrapped Stuffing Bites.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped red bell pepper, celery, and onion.
Step 3
Sauté these colorful veggies for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until they become tender and fragrant, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
While the vegetables are cooking, preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready for your delicious creation.
Step 5
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix, softened cream cheese, melted butter, and a beaten egg.
Step 6
Carefully pour in some very hot water and stir everything together until it’s well blended.
Step 7
Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes; this allows the stuffing to soak up all that lovely liquid, making it extra flavorful.
Step 8
Once the time is up, gently fold in the sautéed vegetables, creating a colorful and tasty stuffing blend.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to get your hands a little messy! Shape the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Step 10
Next, pour some bread crumbs into a shallow dish.
Step 11
Roll each ball in the crumbs, ensuring they’re nicely coated, then place them on a baking sheet.
Step 12
To give them a little extra flair, flatten each ball slightly to form patties and wrap each one with a slice of crispy bacon.
Step 13
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 10 minutes, or until the bottoms are beautifully browned and crisp.
Step 14
After that, flip the patties over and continue baking for another 10 minutes, until the tops are golden and crunchy.
Step 15
The result? Irresistibly delicious bacon-wrapped stuffing patties that are sure to impress your family and friends! Enjoy every bite of this savory treat!.
