Spinach Balls





This is another of Mom’s recipes.  It’s simple and makes a delicious dish.

OK, maybe the name doesn’t make your mouth water but, read on.  Spinach is not the only ingredient in them.  There is stuffing mix, Parmesan cheese, butter and seasonings all mixed together, formed into meatball-sized balls and baked.  This dish works well as a side dish but makes a really savory appetizer along with your favorite dip. 

I remember when Mom first made them years ago.  These little spinach balls disappeared fast and I thought there were about as good as candy.  Even if you don’t like spinach, I bet you will like these as there is not really a strong spinach taste.

One thing that is great is that the spinach balls may be made ahead of time and frozen.  If they are solidly frozen, allow a little longer baking time.  They’re great!
