Spinach Balls

This recipe came from the mother of a former roommate. I’ve “healthified” them somewhat, but I’d still like to experiment with making them lower in sodium. In the meantime, here’s my recipe. These are always a hit!

• 20 oz frozen chopped spinach
• 2 c herbed stuffing mix (non-cubed)
• 1 c parmesan cheese
• 1 pkg onion soup mix
• 2-3 cloves crushed garlic
• 1/4 c + 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (I use this in place of the egg the original recipe called for)
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• 1/2 c margarine, melted

Defrost spinach until all water can drain out. Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Form into balls and bake at 350 degrees on a greased cookie sheet for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Good served plain, or with tomato sauce.

Makes about 40. A scooper like the one below makes the process MUCH easier, neater and faster!
