Instructions
Creating Grandma Dot’s Stuffing Balls is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Mix Bread and Broth: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and broth. Stir until the bread is moistened but not soggy.
4. Add Vegetables: Incorporate the sautéed onion and celery mixture into the bread and broth mixture.
5. Season: Add the parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
6. Incorporate Eggs: Add the beaten eggs to the mixture, stirring until everything is combined thoroughly.
7. Form Balls: With your hands, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into balls, about the size of a golf ball.
8. Bake: Place the stuffing balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
These steps will guide you in creating Grandma Dot’s Stuffing Balls, ensuring they turn out perfectly every time.
