Instructions:
- Prepare vegetables (if using):
- Sauté celery and onions in butter until softened. Allow to cool slightly.
- Mix ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine prepared stuffing, cooked meat (if using), eggs, and sautéed vegetables. Mix well until everything sticks together. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of chicken broth.
- Form balls:
- Roll the stuffing mixture into golf ball-sized portions and place them on a greased baking sheet or in a muffin tin.
- Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are firm and golden brown.
- Heat gravy:
- While the stuffing balls bake, warm the gravy in a small saucepan.
- Serve:
- Drizzle the warm gravy over the stuffing balls and serve immediately.
