Stuffin' Muffins from Scratch

Submitted by coffy_bean

"My favorite part of a Thanksgiving meal is the stuffing!! This recipe came about when I saw Rachael Ray make hers and I figured they would be great using my family stuffing recipe. I have made this by using muffin tins or free-forming balls onto a baking sheet. The latter works great when you want to get a lot done at one time or don't have enough muffin tins; just make sure you make them tight enough that they won't fall apart while baking. This is also a great recipe if you want to just make regular stuffing. Enjoy!!"

So good and people loved their individual portions! I added a couple andouille sausages, cut in small pieces.
