I often get bored with making the same old recipes all the time. A friend told me they saw someone make stuffing balls for Thanksgiving dinner instead of the same old boring way. Turns out it’s a lot easier to make than you realize.
The ingredients used for these stuffing balls are what you would expect when making traditional stuffing. The beauty of this recipe is that you can easily modify if you have a different way of making your stuffing.
The trickiest part of this recipe is to ensure the stuffing mixture has the right consistency to form balls. The water listed on the printable recipe card is optionally depending on your situation.
I like to bake these stuffing balls and a foil-lined baking sheet but you can also put them in a baking dish. Just make sure whatever you use is lightly greased so the balls don’t stick to the bottom of the pan or dish.
Tips
- Cook time will vary based on the size of the balls. Larger balls will take longer to cook.
- You can also cook these stuffing balls in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low setting for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until done.

Gather your Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients to make this Stuffing Balls recipe. For ingredient amounts please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Chicken Flavored Stuffing Mix – I like Mrs. Cubbinsons brand (no affiliation)
- Eggs – fresh large eggs as much as possible
- Cream Corn – make your own or combine regular corn with heavy cream
- Yellow Onion – sweet onion or white onions are good substitutes
- Celery – adds a nice crisp texture
- Poultry Seasoning – or make your own Poultry Seasoning
- Ground Black Pepper – used in many recipes
- Water – if needed to thin out the stuffing mixture
- Unsalted Butter – you can use salted butter if you prefer
How to Make Stuffing Balls
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix, beaten eggs, creamed corn, onion, celery, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Stir well to fully incorporate the ingredients.
- If needed, add water if the mixture is too dry. The mixture should just be firm enough to form a ball.
- Use your hands or a scoop, to form the mixture into evenly-sized balls. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this recipe.
- Place the stuffing balls on a greased or lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the stuffing balls.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and firm to the touch. Cook time will vary based on the size of the balls.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
