STOVE TOP SPINACH BALLS

I made these for my family's Christmas party. My family really liked these. We thought they tasted so good. I think they are best when served warm from the oven. When I made this recipe I tried to half the recipe which didn't work out so well. I cut the recipe in half but ended up adding the entire packet of stuffing. I also used canned mushrooms instead of fresh. I got this recipe from Kraft.

SPINACH BALLS

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law, who says these were my veggie-hating husband's favorite childhood snack. They are a great way to get kids to eat spinach!! Prep time includes chill time. This can be a little salty depending on the butter, cheese and bread crumbs you use, if you are concerned about saltiness use unsalted butter and garlic powder in place of the garlic salt. I have also made these with only 1/2 cup of melted butter (1 stick) and they are just as good but you need to spray the cookie sheet because they will stick.

  • Once the mix can be sculpted into a ball shape it is ready to create the individual balls.
  • Tear off sections of the mixture and using your palms roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball flatten the ball slightly so it is a kind of oval shape.
  • Deep fry the balls until they are a golden brown colour on all sides and serve on top of a creamy pasta dish. The balls should be slighly soft with melted cheese inside if they are cooked correctly.

MOM'S RICE & MEATBALLS (WITH PICKLES)

My husband's Mother has been making this recipe for years and I don't know exactly where she found it, but he seems to want me to make it for every special event in his life. Keep in mind that the saltine crackers, condensed soup and pickles all have a lot of salt, so you don't need to add a lot to the meat. I've made this recipe in a pot on the stove (simmer about an hour) or in the crock pot on low for 4 hours; works well either way. Enjoy!
