Savory Stuffing Balls
These delectable stuffing balls are a cherished Thanksgiving tradition in my family, handed down through generations from my beloved grandmother. With a tantalizing crispiness on the outside and a tender, flavorful interior, they offer a delightful departure from the usual baked dressing in a casserole dish. While they undoubtedly enhance any holiday feast alongside the centerpiece bird, they also serve as a delectable side dish for everyday dinners, whether it’s roasted chicken or succulent pork chops.
