Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix and chicken broth. Stir until well moistened.
Add the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, onion, celery, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and parsley to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Scoop the mixture into each muffin cup and press down gently.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
