Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ¾ cup butter divided
  • 1 can 14.75 ounces cream-style corn
  • 1 ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 ½ teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 8 cups seasoned stuffing croutons
  • 3 large eggs yolks beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF. 
  • In a large skillet, saute celery and onion in ½ cup butter. 
  • Add creamed corn, chicken broth, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.  Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. 
  • Place croutons in a large bowl.
  • Pour prepared mixture over croutons. 
  • Add beaten egg yolks and mix gently. 
  • Using about ½ cup of stuffing mix, form balls.  Work them with your hands until they hold together.  You should get about 12 balls.
  • Place balls in a large greased baking pan. 
  • Melt remaining butter and drizzle over stuffing balls. 
  • Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about a dozen stuffing balls. 
  • Try not to overpack while rolling, it will cause the centers to become too tough. 
  • Using a higher quality chicken broth or stock will result in better tasting stuffing balls. 
  • Easy to prepare ahead of time for holiday parties and potlucks!
