Bacon-Wrapped Stuffing Balls image

My family loves these. They can be served as an appetizer or a side dish. They can be stuffed with sliced Italian sausage, chunks of cheese, or other small savory treats.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped onion
2 cups stuffing mix (such as Kraft® Stove Top®)
½ (8 ounce) package softened cream cheese, cut into chunks
¼ cup softened butter, cut into chunks
1 egg, beaten
⅔ cup very hot water
⅔ cup bread crumbs, or as needed
6 slices bacon, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, celery, and onion; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine stuffing mix, cream cheese, butter, and beaten egg in a large bowl; add hot water and mix well until incorporated. Let sit until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in red bell pepper mixture. Shape into 1-inch balls.
  • Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Roll balls in bread crumbs; arrange them on a baking sheet. Flatten slightly into patties. Wrap patties in bacon.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Flip and continue baking until crisp on top, about 10 minutes more.

These were a nice change from traditional stuffing. I liked the crispy bacon and the moist stuffing.

These were amazing! I've never had stuffing balls before, but these were so good I ate three of them.

These were a bit too salty for my taste, but overall they were still good.

These were a fun and easy appetizer to make. I used a store-bought stuffing mix to save time, and they still turned out great.

Not a fan. The stuffing was bland and the bacon was undercooked.

These were okay, but I wasn't blown away. The stuffing was a bit dry and the bacon was a bit too crispy for my taste.

These were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it! The stuffing was flavorful and moist, and the bacon added a nice crispy crunch. I would definitely make them again for a special occasion.

I've made these stuffing balls several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're perfect for parties or potlucks because they're easy to make ahead of time and can be reheated in the oven.

These were so easy to make and so delicious! I used a pre-made stuffing mix to save time, and they still turned out great. The bacon added a nice crispy touch.

I made these stuffing balls for my Christmas party and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them and they were gone in no time. I will definitely be making them again for my next party.

These bacon-wrapped stuffing balls were an absolute hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly golden brown and crispy. The stuffing was moist and flavorful, and the bacon added a delicious smoky flavor.
