Cindy's Spinach Balls

This recipe is an old family favorite from Struggles. It's probably his favorite holiday food, and I've made them a couple times now. No comment on whether I do them as well as his mom.


Not my picture. Source here.

  • 2 ten ounce packages frozen chopped spinach
  • 3 cups herbed stuffing mix
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 6 eggs, well beaten
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt (I actually prefer granulated garlic myself.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1) Cook spinach as package directs. Drain well and squeeze out excess liquid.

2) Combine all ingredients and mix well.

3) Shape into small balls. (I use an ice cream disher.)

4) Place on greased cookie sheet.

5) Bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes.

**If you like, you can make/freeze these in advance and bake straight from the freezer. You don't need to grease the cookie sheet if that's the case, and you should add another 10 minutes to the cooking time. Personally, I like to freeze them first as I feel it helps them maintain their shape while baking.
