    Love this idea! I tried the suggestion of forming the serving into a little cup and stuffed with my fav. veggie mix and 1t. parm. cheese. So yummy, and built in portion control! Thank you! - 9/22/08

    Made these tonight, I omitted the mushrooms because I'm not a huge fan, added a little more onion, and added garlic, as well as fresh parsley. They were a tad dry for me, so next time I think I'll add more liquid. Overall hit though! - 6/27/09

    Ya, the mushrooms add moisture to the mix so definately add more liquid next time around. CHEERS!

    What a great idea to bake them in a muffin tin! I passed this idea on to my mom who loves dressing, but not all the left overs. This way she can freeze the extras, and thaw it out and zap in the microwave whenever she had the urge for one. - 11/20/08

    These are fantastic!! What a great idea!! DH loves stuffing...so I can make these...freeze them and pull them out any time. I made them with veggie broth and served them for Thanksgiving as my sister is a vegetarian. - 10/13/08

    My family is not into mushrooms of any kind, shape or form is there something I could use in place of the 3 cups of mushrooms?? It seems like it would take out a lot of the "bulk" of the recipe to not put them in. Suggestions please. Thanks. - 9/26/08

    You'll need more liquid if you omit the mushrooms...otherwise add whatever you'd like-apples, raisins, sausage, anything that you enjoy in a stuffing. Cheers!

    Push the stuffing up the sides of the pan making a little cup and crack an egg into each one - bake until egg is set. Instant breakfast (Eggs and toast) - great cold on the run or heated for a sit down. - 9/22/08

    These are great. Tastes just like it should but without all the fat. I omitted the mushrooms, a matter of taste. Great for individual portions, and entertaining. - 4/3/08

    Hurray! I love stuffing so having portion control is great! I made this with leftover muesli bread (from Whole Foods. Yum!) & omitted the mushrooms. I add dried sage and thyme, too, cuz that's my fav in stuffing. Yum yum yum! Oh, doubled the broth, too, cuz I prefer slightly mushy stuffing. - 6/9/10

    I'm already rating it, even though I haven't tried. It sounds delicious, and I think the muffins will freeze with no problem, which is great for me, because I live alone. I don't eat margarine but certainly don't have a problem with using butter. It's only a miniscule amount in each muffin. - 9/24/08

    I look forward to trying this recipe - sounds good - but more than that, we can use muffin tins for our personal recipes too. Excellent for portion control - GREAT IDEA! - 9/23/08

    I've started using silicone bakeware - including muffin pans. Don't need to grease them, so you save on calories - and things bake just fine. (Put the silicone bakeware on a cookie sheet for support.) - 9/22/08

    Great idea using muffin tins. I have been stuffing red and yellow bell peppers with stuffing mixture and using as a main course. - 9/22/08

    I've not tried this but the technique sounds like it would work equally well for Southern Cornbread Dressing, the Thanksgiving and Christmas staple in Georgia. I'll give it a try that way. - 9/22/08
