Mix Well: Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be moist and evenly blended, ensuring every bite bursts with flavor.

Shape Into Balls: With clean hands, shape the stuffing mixture into 7 or 8 evenly sized balls. Roll them gently between your palms to form neat, compact spheres. This step ensures uniform cooking and a pleasing presentation.
-
Prepare Crockpot: Lightly grease the bottom of your crockpot to prevent sticking. Arrange the shaped stuffing balls evenly in the pot, leaving some space between each ball for even cooking.
-
Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the stuffing balls. This adds a rich, buttery flavor and helps to keep the balls moist and tender as they cook.
-
Cook in Crockpot: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set the heat to LOW. Allow the Corn Stuffing Balls to cook for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the stuffing balls to become tender and delicious.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once fully cooked, carefully remove the Corn Stuffing Balls from the crockpot. Arrange them on a serving platter or individual plates, and serve them warm alongside your favorite main dishes or as a standalone delight.
-
Storage: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving to enjoy their comforting flavors once again.
