Directions
Aunt Lil’s Spinach Balls, This was my Great Aunt Lil’s recipe, and I’ve been eating them at family dinners my entire life All the children in my family eat spinach and they all start with this recipe They can also be made a little smaller and served with toothpicks for an appetizer In my family, this is normally a vegetable side dish It’s a little messy, so make this in advance and reheat when ready to serve , Please tell Aunt Lil that I said thank you! These spinachy morsels are very tasty! I made this recipe exactly as listed except that I probably didn’t use as much butter I love spinach so I was OK with not having too much seasoning This is the kind of recipe that you can adjust to your own taste, which is nice I didn’t find them to be messy at all to make I let the spinach drain for a couple of hours so maybe that helped? To look at the mix, it didn’t seem like you could form anything, but it was super easy I will make these again Made for Went to the Market tag game Thanks Karen! 🙂
