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!
Jump to RecipeThe 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.

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

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.
