Stuffing Balls

AdamsWife's Note:

This is my husband's Grandma's recipe. We make them every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sometimes we make a small amount for whenever because we both crave them.

This is the ultimate comfort food for me. The smell from the oven transports me back to my childhood home, with my mom, dad and siblings. Good stuff. Thanks for this. We have not been able to duplicate mom and dads recipe until now.

These are wonderful to serve when you aren't cooking a whole bird. I made half the recipe to go with a turkey breast. Moist and tasty. Sure beats the "boxed" stuffing. Made for PAC Fall '07. Thanks for posting a keeper!
