    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!
