Thanksgiving Stuffing Bombs

Thanksgiving Stuffing Bombs

Bacon-Wrapped Stuffing Bombs

Ingredients

  • 4–5 cups prepared stuffing (cooled so it holds shape)

  • 1 lb thin-cut bacon

  • 1 can cranberry sauce

  • Hot sauce of your choice (Chef Ben loves habanero sauces)

Instructions

1. Preheat

Preheat your grill or smoker to 300°F.

2. Form the Stuffing Bombs

  • Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of stuffing.

  • Press firmly into a tight ball so it holds its shape.

3. Wrap with Bacon

  • Cut bacon slices in half.

  • Wrap each stuffing ball with 1–2 pieces of bacon, overlapping slightly.

  • Secure with a toothpick if needed.

4. Cook

  • Place the bacon-wrapped stuffing bombs on a wire rack or directly on the grill grate.

  • Cook for 30–40 minutes, or until the bacon is rendered and beginning to crisp.

5. Make the Glaze (Optional but awesome)

  • In a bowl, combine cranberry sauce and hot sauce to taste.

  • Mix until smooth and transfer to a squeeze bottle (optional).

During the last 5–10 minutes of cooking, brush or squeeze the cranberry-hot sauce glaze over the stuffing bombs to let it caramelize onto the bacon.

6. Serve

Let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot.
Pairs perfectly with gravy, extra cranberry sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
