• For a stuffin' casserole: Brush a casserole dish with 1/4 stick butter. Add the stuffing mixture to the dish and dot the top with the remaining 1/4 stick butter. Bake until set and crisp on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
• For individual stuffin' muffins: Brush a 12-muffin tin with the remaining 1/2 stick of butter. Add the beaten egg to the cooled stuffing mixture. Using an ice cream scoop, fill and mound up the stuffing in the muffin tin. Bake until set and crisp on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the stuffin' muffins to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

TO-DIE-FOR THANKSGIVING STUFFING

Steps:

• Saute onions, garlic, and rosemary in 4 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat until golden and soft.

• Combine the bourbon and chicken stock; starting with 1 quart, add enough stock to produce the consistency YOU recognize as "stuffing."
• When combined, stuff bird or place in separate large baking dish(es).
• Bake at 350 for at least 45 minutes--longer if you prefer a dark crust on your stuffing.
• Serves 12 or more as part of a Thanksgiving feast.

PUMPERNICKEL FRUIT STUFFING

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet. Add onion and apple and saute over medium high heat until they are just beginning to brown. Stir in the pear and persimmon.

ONION AND APPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Put butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When butter has melted, add apples, onion, celery, and garlic; let sweat for 5 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine cornbread stuffing mix, 1 1/2 cups water, and 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the microwave and fluff with a fork. Repeat with turkey stuffing mix, remaining 1 1/2 cups water, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
• Combine softened apple-vegetable mixture and both stuffings in a large bowl; stir until everything is mixed together. Add 2 cups broth and stir again; it needs to be wet but not soupy. Add more broth (up to 1 cup) if needed. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is slightly crunchy and the stuffing looks a lot drier than it did going into the oven, about 35 minutes. If more time is needed, bake in 10-minute increments.
