Deep-Fried Stuffing turns leftover Thanksgiving stuffing into a delicious appetizer that’s great for gameday. They taste great on their own and even better dipped in an easy and creamy cranberry sauce.

Stuffing, or dressing as southerners tend to call it, is always my favorite part of a Thanksgiving meal. And I love to make a huge amount of stuffing so we are sure to have leftovers.
To make Deep-Fried Stuffing you’ll mix 1 tablespoon melted butter, a lightly beaten egg, and 2/3 cup Monterey Jack or Mozzarella cheese with 3 cups of leftover stuffing. This mixture gets shaped into balls a little smaller than a golf ball. They get dipped in egg wash and coated in bread crumbs. Then they are fried in vegetable oil until crispy.

 
Tips for making Deep-Fried Stuffing
If you want to make Deep-Fried Stuffing but don’t have any leftover stuffing, use a box of Stovetop Stuffing. Make it according to package directions and proceed with the recipe.
The balls will hold their shape better if you start with chilled leftover stuffing.
The mixture should be thick enough so that it holds it’s shape well when formed into a ball. If it is too dry to hold together, add a little melted butter, chicken broth or milk.
