Grandma Dot’s Stuffing Balls made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf white bread about 10 cups, cubed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cube the white bread into bite-sized pieces and let it dry for a few hours, ideally overnight.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the diced onion and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried bread cubes with the sautéed mixture, tossing to ensure even distribution.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and beaten eggs, mixing until the bread cubes are moistened but not soggy.
  • Using your hands, form the mixture into golf-ball-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on the outside.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
