KITTENCAL'S MAKE-AHEAD STUFFING BALLS
This is a wonderful alternative to stuffing a turkey, the advantage of this recipe is that you can totally prepare the balls a day in advance and they freeze wonderful after baking that is if you have any left which you probably won't lol! --- I sometimes add in some finely crumbled cooked sausage meat or cooked crumbled bacon and chopped cranberries to these, I find that a 1-pound loaf of 2-3 day old bread is just the perfect amount to use for this recipe, although you might have a cup or more left over, I slice the bread into about 1-inch cubes --- don't wait until the holidays to make these they are a wonderful change from potatoes and *SO* good! :)

Steps:
- Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- In a large fry pan heat butter over medium-high.
- Add in the onions and celery and cook stirring until soft and translucent but not browned (about 6 minutes).
- Add in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add in chopped mushrooms, creamed corn, niblets corn, broth, poultry seasoning, parsley, Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt or white salt and black pepper pepper; bring to a medium boil, simmer for 10-15 minutes over low heat.
- Remove the mixture and transfer to a large bowl; and cool for 20-30 minutes (cool just enough so that the eggs will not cook when added).
- Add in eggs and mix well.
- Add bread crumbs or cubes; mix well to combine (I use my hands for mixing).
- Taste the mixture and then adjust the poultry seasoning, salt and pepper to taste if needed.
- At this point you may cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to shape into balls.
- With moistened hands shape into golf ball-size balls (I use an ice cream scoop for this) add in more breadcrumbs if needed just to hold the mixture together.
- Transfer the shaped balls to the prepared buttered casserole dish (at this point they can be covered and refrigerated until ready to bake).
- When ready to bake drizzle melted butter over the balls.
- Cover loosely with foil.
- Bake at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes (do not overbake).
