What To Serve With Stuffing Muffins

Stuffing muffins are a delish treat on their own smothered with a savory gravy, but they also go well with this Easy Turkey Pot Pie or Smothered Pork Chops. Add a simple and fresh Tomato Salad or an Easy Grape Salad and dinner is served!

Recipe Tips and Tricks

Let the stuffing cool and dry out for about 3 minutes before adding the egg and seasonings. The egg will cling better to drier stuffing and help the muffins expand, making them fluffier.

How to Store Leftovers

Refrigerate leftover stuffing muffins in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Freeze muffins by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and then placing them in a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in a 300˚F oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
