I have stuffing mixture left, before I put it in the fridge I added one egg and made balls, then I sprinkled some flour and shook the tray, to preventthem to stick eachother, and kept them in the freezer about 1/2 hour. They were frozen, then remove them and put in a freezer safe bag.ready to cook any time..
