Sausage Spinach Balls

[DontTreadOnMe]

I got this from a neighbor a lot of years ago, and have made this recipe many times.
Only changing it to take out some carbs.

I've made this several times over the years.
Easy to make, and may be frozen ahead, making holiday cooking easier.

Makes about 54 balls.
I've included my Lower Carb Adaptation first, with the original as an addendum.

2 packages spinach, frozen, thawed and squeezed dry [10 ounce package]
1 cup stuffing, seasoned cubes
1 1/4 cups Parmesan cheese, grated  [may use less]
2 Tablespoons minced onion
6 egg, large, WELL beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
10 ounces sausage, bulk, cooked and drained  

1.    Preheat oven to 350.

2.    Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Form into balls about the size of  small walnuts.

3.    Place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 20 minutes, or until browned.  Serve immediately

4.    May be prepared ahead and flash-frozen on baking sheets.
Thaw before baking.

5.    Addendum
May double stuffing to 2 cups , and half the amount of bulk sausage...the original recipe calls for 4 ounces.  Honestly, more sausage and less bread always sounds better to me 
I usually use fresh sweet Italian sausage.
I have also used fresh Polish sausage once or twice.

LOL....I guess I should have posted this before the Holidays and Superbowl.

These seem like they would be appropriately eaten by stabbing them with a long wooden skewer (not a toothpick, that's too wimpy) and plunging them in some kind of cheese sauce. Perhaps white queso? Yes, I know they already have cheese in them already....
