Made by You Monday -- Spinach Balls

I don't remember the first time I had these, but I know the original recipe came from a lady in Memphis. I don't like cooked spinach, but I could just about live on these things! This is a particularly good appetizer for the holidays, as they can be made far in advance and kept in the freezer until you need them.


2 10-oz. boxes frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained well
2 cups Pepperidge Farm herb bread stuffing mix (the blue bag)
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Using a small spoon or cookie dough scoop, form into 1-inch balls. Place on cookie sheets and freeze. At this point they can be stored in the freezer in Ziploc bags or in freezer boxes. When ready to serve, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Makes about 5 dozen. (These will keep in the freezer for several months.)

Here they are sitting in the freezer.

And here are the remains after the platter had been ravaged!

(this batch should have baked a little longer, but the natives

were getting restless!)
