I would have given this recipe 4 stars if it had been me who liked it! I made this the other day for a finger food social night, but wasn't impressed when I tried it for myself, so I wasn't going to take it. My hubby tried it and liked it as did my son so I decided to take it and they really liked it and asked for the recipe! Maybe my taste buds were just off that day - I don't know, but it was definitely easy to make (but a bit messy) and quick also.

I made these along with a thin spaghetti sauce. They actually taste like meat balls! Great healthy substitute. I added some chopped artichoke hearts to mine. Yum. I will definitely suggest this recipe to my vegetarian friends.

My grandma always made spinach balls using a high quality stuffing mix (Pepperidge Farms) but I like this recipe more! Next time, I would decrease the bread crumbs a little. I also added chopped garlic and cayenne as recommended by others. If you don't like spicy foods, perhaps thyme would be a great addition instead. The cook time was perfect; you should only expect the underside to end up browned. The only downfall is that they taste great fresh out of the oven but when the sit on an appetizer table, they end up cold and untouched. Overall, will make again.

I made this as an appetizer for a "get together" and my friends loved it! From reading past reviews, I sauted the onions with garlic before adding it to the mixture. I also used marinara sauce for dipping. Turned out great!

My sister makes these for holiday gatherings. I made these with my daughter and we ate them all. I used Pepperidge Farms herbed stuffing mix instead of bread crumbs.

I had this exact recipe except for the addition of 1/4 cup of marsala, sherry or other white wine. Like others, I cut down on the amount of crumbs. And I sauted the onion, with some garlic (about 3 cloves, pressed), the wine and the spinach. Then cool that before going ahead with the other ingredients and shaping the balls. I serve it with a Dijon sauce. My friend always uses a marinara or bolognese sauce for dipping.

Very good! I used fresh, chopped spinach. Also added bacon and onions sauteed in garlic per other suggestions. We preferred them warm, not room temp. Served with a bistro sauce (like bloomin onion dip from Outback).

I made these with seasoned boxed stuffing mix and cooked fresh spinach. I rolled the cooked spinach in dish towel to get the extra moisture out after it was cooked and let the hot spinach melt the butter.I took them to a party with my favorite dip. Made with mayo, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and curry powder to taste. Everything was enjoyed by all. Most people hate to try things that look different so I had to put a sign by them.

I made these spinach balls for Mothers Day. I followed everything to a tee except I added 2 cloves of garlic and used white onion instead of green (per suggestions here). I made them and rolled them in parmesan cheese. I mixed dijon mustard and mayo for a dipping sauce. I had them all wrapped and refridgerated and was cleaning up the kitchen. I opened the microwave and there was the 1/2 cup of melted butter! Oops, the recipe still turned out great. In fact I think the butter would have made them too runny. Also, I saved a lot of unnecessary calories!

Great App! However, kind of smells odd while you're making it. Don't let it discourage you, they are quite tasty. I only did 1.5c of bread crumbs, took the suggestion of 2 garlic cloves and sauted with onion (shallot instead of green) and butter. Rolled in grated parmesan - made them much pretier. Don't wait until they are "golden", you can't really notice the color change. Bake 15-20 minutes. Oh and I accidetally bought romano instead of parmesan and it was delicious! Served with trader joe's marinara.

Handy food to have around for pot lucks, snacks for kids, etc. I used fresh spinach, added a little sour cream to combat the dryness some people reported, added garlic & onion powders and cut the bread crumbs down to one cup on the advice of others. Overall, these were tasty, although a little salty, I found. I'm always looking for healthy small foods for my toddler, so this is a really good one. Thanks a lot.

This recipe is great. The balls turned out so good I couldnt keep the hubby away. I followed the recipe, except I took jackay advice and put the yellow onion instead of green and I only used half of the onion and the 2 garlic cloves. I would defently suggest 30 mins cook time instead of 15.I have to say it was easy to make and smelt great while cooking.Oh and tastes great too. Thanks for this great recipe.

These came out wonderful but they did take longer to bake than the instructions said. The second time I was pressed for time and my kids wanted them to be cheesier so I added half a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and I fried them and they came out even better. They are more healthy in the oven but fried is better if you don't have the time or the oven is filled. Great Super Bowl yummies!!
