Stuffing Balls: A Delicious Twist on Classic Stuffing

Stuffing balls are a fun, bite-sized twist on the traditional holiday stuffing. Perfect as a side dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any festive meal, they combine all the rich flavors of classic stuffing with a convenient, handheld form. Whether you’re serving a crowd or looking for an easy appetizer, these golden, savory balls are sure to impress.

Ingredients

To make about 12–15 stuffing balls, you’ll need:

  • 4 cups of day-old bread, cubed (white, whole wheat, or a mix)
  • 1 cup of onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup of celery, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½–¾ cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • Optional: ½ cup cooked sausage or bacon, crumbled
  • Optional: ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Tip: Stale bread works best because it absorbs flavors without becoming mushy.


Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Bread Cubes

If your bread isn’t already dry, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast for 10–15 minutes until lightly golden and dry. Set aside to cool.


Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and celery and cook for 5–7 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in the garlic, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Tip: This step infuses your stuffing balls with rich flavor. Don’t rush it!
