Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin well with butter or non-stick spray.
-
Sauté (Optional but Recommended):
In a small pan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and lightly sauté the finely diced celery and onion flakes for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
-
Add Seasonings:
Stir in the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning to the broth mixture.
-
Mix Stuffing:
Add the bag of stuffing mix, the fresh parsley, and the sautéed celery and onion (if using) to the bowl. Pour the seasoned broth mixture over the stuffing mix. Gently fold the ingredients together until the liquid is absorbed. Do not overmix, as this can make the stuffing dense.
-
Fill Muffin Tin:
Use a scoop or large spoon to firmly pack the stuffing mixture into each cup of the prepared muffin tin.
-
Bake:
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops of the stuffing cups are golden brown and have crispy, defined edges.
-
Serve:
Let the cups cool for a minute, then carefully run a knife around the edge of each cup to help loosen them before serving warm.
