Now that the sugar rush of Halloween is behind us, it is time to look forward to the holidays. Do you realize that Thanksgiving is in 21 days? Three weeks people…that’s all we have to finalize our dinner menus. Today I have a fun change of pace for you. I am taking a break from all the sugar that I post and participating in a fun blog progressive dinner. Join me and 8 other fabulous bloggers as we share our favorite Thanksgiving dinner ideas today…there is even a fun giveaway involved too:-)
Do you have a favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner? For me, it has always been the stuffing. I just love my dad’s stuffing fresh baked from the turkey. It was always the first thing to disappear from the table. Today I am sharing my stuffing with you, but with a fun twist. I didn’t have time to bake a whole turkey just yet, so I wanted to share a fun stuffing idea that I saw in a few magazines this year. Stuffins!!! That’s right! Stuffing baked in muffin pans for individual servings.
There is always something fun about having your food made as mini portions. And of course they definitely take better pictures this way, then as a blob of delicious baked bread. For an even easier way to make this, you can also spread it in a baking dish and bake it that way too. Either way, it is delicious with gravy poured all over it. Man, now I am so ready for Thanksgiving dinner and all those yummy dishes.
Traditional stuffing baked in individual cups
Ingredients
Instructions
- Toast bread slices and cut into cubes. Place in bowl and set aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onion, celery, mushroom, and garlic and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs and chicken broth to the bread cubes and toss until everything is mixed in. Stir in the cooked vegetables. Press about 1/3 c. mixture into muffin tins that have been sprayed with non stick spray. Bake 25 minutes at 350* Serve hot.

What a cute idea! I can’t wait to see everyone’s Thanksgiving recipe ideas! We have dressing in our family, and that’s my favorite thing!!! It’s more dense than stuffing I think, and Mom’s has a whole of of sage in it, which I love.
Blessings,
Leslie
Stuffing and mashed potatoes are tied for my favorite! This is such a cute idea. And definitely much better to photograph.

Stuffins! What a funny combo. My favourite part of thanksgiving has always been the stuffing too, although now I’m vegetarian I can’t usually eat it anymore.
Also, as a Canadian, it’s so odd to see people post things about Thanksgiving now because ours was mid-October! Anyway, have a great thanksgiving!
<3

Oh I love this idea! Really for anytime of the year – it’s a shame we leave stuffing to a couple days out of the year.
Thanks so much for participating in this years event, it was so great to meet you

This is such a good way to serve stuffing on a plate with lots of gravy pour over top.
Yes, lots of gravy on top is the way to go:-)
Stuffing is the absolute best part of Thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing

I love this idea! I can’t stand soggy-in-the-bird dressing and this is the perfect solution! So fun to be involved in this fun event with you… xoxoxo~ Ruthie
Baked this way gets rid of the sogginess:-) It was so nice to “meet” you through this too!!!
What a great idea for stuffing! When I was younger I used to HATE stuffing but now I cant get enough! I think I just wasnt fond of the soggy bird stuffed kind…. Will be trying this instead this year! And I love the giveaway… Hope I win!

Baking the stuffing this way definitely gets rid of the soggy stuffing! I hope you enjoy it!
Fun giveaway!
I will be honest- the stuffing is my favorite part of the whole meal!! I could have my entire plate be stuffing and I would be a happy girl! These seriously are darling and look absolutely delicious! I hope that you have a great day!
XO, Camille

Yes, little carb bombs for the carboholics…I’m one of those too:-)
Such a great idea! I haven’t od’d on sugar yet…maybe tonight. Gah – 21 days. Sigh.

I was doing good…until we started making S’mores…then it was all over. Sigh is right!!!
My hubs would love these! He is a huge stuffing (And bread!) fan and this is the best of all worlds!

These are perfect for the carb lovers in the world:-)
Yep, the best part about Thanksgiving dinner is definitely the stuffing, especially if it has sausage in it! Oh my gosh, if that’s all I eat on Thanksgiving, I am happy! I like how neat and portable these are. I could seriously eat several before they make it to a platter to be served! Thanks Jocelyn for getting me ready for the big day. I think I may make these now, just to “practice”!

Genius idea! I love when things are made into muffins/cupcakes it makes them so much funner. Glad to be in the progressive dinner with you =)!
Everything in cupcake form is definitely way more fun:-)

how fun!!! I’m hosting a Thanksgiving party all month long (until Thanksgiving) and would love for you to come over and link it up! This is in addition to my normal Tasteful Tuesday party that runs every Tuesday. Thank you for taking the time to celebrate Thanksgiving and be THANKFUL for all our blessings. http://www.nap-timecreations.com/2012/10/pull-apart-pumpkin-maple-bread-and.html
These are a really fun idea for transporting or even freezing individual servings of stuffing! Glad to be a part of this with progressive dinner.
Perfect idea! I love the ‘crunchy crust’ on the dressing and this would give me more to enjoy! Thanks so much for linking up at Weekend Potluck.
I love this idea and great way for portion control! Btw… loving your new blog design! Congrats!!!

My 14 year old son picked this recipe to make for Thanksgiving dinner. I increased the butter a bit and decreased the sage amount only because I am not a huge sage fan. They stayed together quite nicely and was a nice pairing with the stuffing from the bird as there isn’t usually enough to go around. Thanks for the recipe!
I am so happy to hear that you tried these fun stuffins. Less sage is always better anyway:-)
