The Best Spinach Balls Recipe

When my husband and I first got married, we would have yearly New Year's Eve parties.  They were a blast, and we had a great time making the menu and sharing our meals with others.  This spinach balls recipe is one of our favorite appetizer recipes. It's easy to make ahead and delicious, too!  Since then, I have made it every year for a great weeknight meal for my family.  Try it out and see for yourself!

Make ahead - freezer Instructions

You can make these spinach balls ahead of time. Here's how.

1. On a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet, make the balls and place them a few inches apart on the cookie sheet. Place in the freezer for one-half hour. Then, transfer it into a baggie and freeze it for later.
2. Write on the baggie the oven temperature at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and back for 30 minutes.

When ready to bake instructions
