Stuffing balls are a delightful twist on traditional stuffing, offering individual portions that are crispy on the outside and moist inside. They’re perfect for holiday gatherings or as a side dish to complement various meals. Here’s a simple recipe to make them at home:

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups dry stuffing mix
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the finely chopped onion and celery; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry stuffing mix, sautéed vegetables (with the butter), beaten eggs, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and mix until the stuffing is evenly moistened. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the liquid to absorb.
  4. Form Stuffing Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into balls approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  5. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider incorporating mix-ins such as diced apples, dried cranberries, or cooked sausage into the stuffing mixture.
  • Ensure the stuffing mixture is moist enough to hold together when forming the balls; if it’s too dry, add a little more broth.
  • These stuffing balls can be prepared ahead of time. After forming the balls, cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
