STOVE TOP Spinach Balls

Ah, the infamous spinach balls...I've been making these for a few years now. They're so easy and I get raves about them. I usually leave out the chopped onions because I'm not a fan (I think the stuffing flavoring of mushroom & onion is enough). They also freeze well. For a party, I will make twice the recipe (mix in separate bowls) and freeze a couple of weeks ahead of time. You bake them first, put in a freezer bag, defrost and then bake again at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes the day you are serving them. (Can be frozen for up to 3 months)
