Ingredients

Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 stick butter, softened
1 fresh bay leaf, available in produce department
4 ribs celery and greens, from the heart, chopped (save time and purchase celery already washed, trimmed and cut into sticks, this makes chopping fast work)
1 medium to large yellow skinned onion, chopped
3 McIntosh apples, quartered and chopped
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
8 cups cubed stuffing mix (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
2 to 3 cups chicken stock, available in paper containers on the soup aisle

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil to skillet and 4 tablespoons butter. When butter melts, add bay leaf and add the vegetables as you chop them, celery, onions then apples. Sprinkle the vegetables and apples with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Cook 5 to 6 minutes to begin to soften vegetables and apples then add parsley and stuffing cubes to the pan and combine. Moisten the stuffing with chicken broth until all of the bread is soft but not wet.

Butter 12 muffin cups, 2 tins, liberally with remaining butter. Use an ice cream scoop to fill and mound up the stuffing in muffin tins. Remove the bay leaf as you scoop the stuffing when you come upon it. Bake until set and crisp on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove stuffin' muffins to a platter and serve hot or room temperature.

To Irma from Washington
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I use bread slices and just tear them up into small cubes instead of buying the pepperridge stuff. It works just as well or... you can put the bread pieces in the oven for a few minutes, spread on a cookie sheet, to lightly brown them just a bit like the pepperridge bread. As for them tearing apart, I had that problem too but I just started squishing more of the stuffing into the scoop to make it stick better. Don't squish it too hard or you will end up with a mess. Hope this helps.Read more

Love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am a vegetarian but my whole family eats meat. I make this dish every Thanksgiving and sometimes for Christmas as well. My... whole family absolutely loves it! I omit the celery and add craisins and maybe a little extra poultry season because I love the flavor. It's always a hit. When I served it to my boyfriend for Thanksgiving he said it was his favorite part of the whole meal! Try it it's delish!Read more

HELP WITH THE MUFFIN PART
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe three times and the "muffins" just fall apart! I end up putting it in a caserole, and it still... tastes great... but I would love to get the presentation right. Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong? I can only get Stove Top where I'm from, could that be it?Read more

Really Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made these using the recommended pepperidge farm brand stuffing. However my bag only measured out to about 6 cups of... stuffing mix. As a result the poultry seasoning was on the strong side-but they were still very tasty. It still made the requisite 12 muffins-so next time I think I'll try 1 1/2 T of poultry seasoning instead.Read more
