Raise the ante with not just homemade matzo balls but with stuffed matzo balls. Delish! Serve with favorite soups, stews, or just because.
Stuffed matzo balls can be cooked ahead and stored, covered in the refrigerator for 2 days, or frozen on a sheet pan and then gathered into a reusable, disposable bag for up to 2 months. No need to thaw before serving. Just place frozen matzo balls in hot soup and allow to thaw for about 15 minutes, depending upon their size.

perfect! Thank you! I just finished making 54 chicken-stuffed Matzo!! My hand was numb a bit, lol. Just a quick question, I can send you some as they come up, or.. you said I can add them too, myself?
Yes to both, please email [email protected] and we can continue to talk about this.
Hi! I am trying to find this and a few other recipes on the prepeared app but am not able to access them very easily or at all (yet, anyways!!) Are your website’s recipes not all on the app yet?
Hi, no we are not able to have all our recipes on the app, unfortunately, we will continue to add them and you can add them too, but I went ahead and added this one, because it’s a favorite of mine too and feel free to send me a list of recipes and I can make a note to have them added.
Raw ground chicken
I want to know, for the stuffed matzo balls, when it says “ground chicken” does that mean RAW ground chicken, or can I use cooked soup chicken that I grind up in my food grinder???
