I made these for an appetizer for a ladies luncheon. I doubled the stuffing mix, used an entire bag of grated swiss cheese (5oz.- 1 1/4 cups)also doubled garlic salt. Everyone loved them! I used the dipping sauce with this recipe and the mustard sauce from recipe # 182856 "Whit's Spinach Balls". They were both very good but the mustard sauce was more popular. I made them the day before and kept in refrigerator until baking. Great recipe! Thanks Judikins!

I used a corn bread muffin mix as I did not have a stuffing mix. As a result I needed to add some breadcrumbs to it. It turned out, however, just great. I did like the horseradish mayo too. Might add some mustard to it next time. Thanks Judikins
