Fabulous. Made this as a side dish and we loved it. I did however increase the Parmesan Cheese to 1 cup and used fresh broccoli instead of frozen. I will be using this recipe often not only as a side but for appetizers as well. It was easy to make and absolutely delicious. Puts a whole new light on eating the dreaded broccoli. Thanks for sharing this recipe Heather.

These are really delicious! I modified based on the reviews I read here: more parmesan cheese (3/4 cup) less onion only 4 eggs half the butter and double the stuffing. GREAT results. I think it needed the extra stuffing to bind up the wet ingredients and make them keep their shape. Once you take the mixture out of the fridge to make the balls give it a good stir to really get the wet ingredients mold-able. The flavor is great. Really delicious and a big hit with my family.

Easy and a big hit at a party! I couldn't find chicken flavored stuffing so I used herb stuffing. Was wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!

I cannot believe how good these are!! I only made them because I had half a box of stuffing that needed using up but they are SO good that I'm going to make them for Thanksgiving dinner next week (and plenty of other times too)! The only changes I made were to use extra-sharp Cheddar (I mistakenly thought I had Parm) and also fresh brocc (I can't stand the frozen stuff). Although they were pretty easy to form into balls you could easily just spread the mixture in a dish and bake as directed. I'm also thinking of making them with broccoli and cauliflower. This is a fantastic recipe. Thanks so much Heather!

These were pretty good but my family has always made them with two 10 oz. packaged of chopped spinach and no onion and I like those better. Also I baked a few of these before letting them sit and not only was the stuffing still hard but they leaked. Letting the mixture sit is definitely a vital step.

This was my first time trying these and I'll be making them again for sure but I'm going to experiment a bit. This time out I subbed the parmesan for sharp cheddar which was yummy. My only concern is that they were to "egg-y" Next time less egg adn butter. I'll also be sauteeing the onion and experimenting with adding various seasonings and possibly sauteed mushroom. The flavor was OK it just seemed to be missing something. I think these are a great nibbler I just want to tweak them to be a bit more flavorful.

Easy and delicious! I saved myself a dish and some time by just covering the frozen broccoli in a large bowl w/ saran wrap and microwaved for 7 minutes then let it drain and cool in a collander while I mixed the ingredients in that same large bowl. I used 16 oz. of chopped broccoli 3/4 cup Parmesan and 1.5 pkgs. of the stuffing but kept the eggs and margarine the same. I subbed 1/4 cup dried minced onions and did garlic powder not garlic salt at 3/4 tsp. I made the balls slightly larger so I ended up with 26 total. Everyone at a potluck gobbled them up and one person asked for the recipe. For something that looks like "nothing special " it sure turns out great.

Very good! I doubled the stuffing and the broccoli...kept the wet ingredients the same....except I decreased the butter to 1/2 c. I was able to make 80- 1 inch balls that I scooped out with a cookie scoop.....I scooped them onto a cookie sheet and froze them...then put them into freezer zip lock bags for easy use. I did make 20 of them tonight and they are delicious. Thanks for a tasty appetizer!

This recipe has been a hit every single time I've made them. I was afraid my husband would not like them because he is picky about vegetables but he absolutely loves them. The only thing that I do different is that I mince about 1/4 of an onion and I tell others to use as much onion according to their taste preference. You can also even use two boxes of stuffing and they still turn out delicious!

I had such hope for these but they just weren't a hit here.
