These bite-sized stuffing portions are crisp on the outside and tender in the middle, great for passing around or serving buffet-style.

They’re everything you love about Thanksgiving stuffing, just in snackable form. Perfect for holiday apps, potlucks, or even next-day leftovers!

The texture is what really makes them special — golden brown on the outside but still soft and savory inside. And because they’re pre-portioned, there’s no need for scooping or slicing.

Just grab one and go!

You can serve them as-is or pair with gravy or cranberry sauce for dipping.

They also reheat well, so don’t be afraid to make them a day early and warm them in the oven before guests arrive.

Whether you call them stuffing balls, dressing bites, or savory stuffing poppers, these little guys will fly off the tray.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups dry cubed stuffing mix

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 ⁄2 cup diced onion

  • 1 ⁄2 cup diced celery

  • 1 1⁄4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)

  • 1 ⁄2 teaspoon poultry seasoning

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a skillet, melt butter and sauté the onion and celery over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine dry stuffing mix, sautéed vegetables, chicken broth, egg, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until everything is evenly moistened.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
  • Lightly grease your hands or a cookie scoop, then form the mixture into 12 evenly sized balls.
  • Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm on the outside.
  • Serve warm, or cool and reheat before serving.

Make-Ahead Tip

Stuffing Balls can be assembled and shaped up to a day in advance. Store covered in the fridge, then bake just before serving. You can also bake them ahead and reheat in a 325°F oven for 10–15 minutes until warmed through.
