A Crowd Favorite: Cheesy Spinach Balls

Spinach and cheese are a popular combination in a number of dishes and these cheesy spinach balls are no exception. This is a family favorite at all of our holiday celebrations and parties. I make it for all kinds of events from our New Year's party to our Super Ball bash.

Here's what you'll need:
- 1 package of frozen, chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 cup stuffing mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine

First cook the spinach. Make sure to drain the spinach well to get all of the excess water out. If necessary, use a strainer. While the spinach is cooking, put the stuffing in a plastic sandwich bag and go over it with a rolling pin - the goal of this is to remove the lumps in the stuffing.

Once you have the cooked spinach and crushed stuffing, mix them together in a bowl. Mix in the cheese, butter and eggs. Once everything is mixed, roll the mix into small balls (the size of a large gumball). This recipe make between 32-25 cheesy spinach balls. Place the rolled up balls onto a paper plate and freeze. Please note, you MUST freeze them before cooking.

Once the spinach balls are frozen solid, you can put them in a plastic bag for easier storage. When you're ready to serve them, heat on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Check on them periodically as all ovens are different.

I love this recipe because I can make them a week ahead and heat them just before my guests arrive!

Give this recipe a try at your next party!
