Stuffing Balls

Step 4: Shape the Stuffing Balls

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
With clean hands, scoop out a portion of the stuffing mixture and roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball.
Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
If you want extra crispiness, lightly brush the tops with melted butter before baking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve alongside roast turkey, chicken, or ham as a holiday side dish.
Pair with gravy or cranberry sauce as a dipping option.
Use them as a topping for a casserole or soup for a creative twist.
Turn leftovers into a breakfast dish by serving with fried eggs and bacon.

Tips for Success

Moisture Balance – Add broth slowly to avoid soggy stuffing. The mixture should hold together when pressed but not drip liquid.
Uniform Size – Roll the balls evenly so they cook at the same rate.
Make Ahead – Form the balls, refrigerate (covered) up to 24 hours, then bake when ready.
Freezer Friendly – Freeze after baking, then reheat in the oven for quick sides.

Final Thoughts

Stuffing balls are a clever twist on a traditional favorite. They’re easy to prepare, customizable with different flavors, and always a crowd-pleaser. With their crispy edges and soft centers, they bring the perfect balance of texture and taste to your holiday feast—or even an everyday meal.

So this year, skip the plain casserole and serve up a tray of golden-brown stuffing balls. They’ll disappear fast, and you might just find a new family tradition!
