SAUSAGE AND GRAVY STUFFIN' MUFFINS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage, McCormick® Rubbed Sage, and red pepper flakes and cook, breaking up the meat into small pieces, until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Pour off any excess grease, then season with salt to taste.
• Add the sausage to the stuffing base and stir to combine. Fold in the eggs until incorporated.
• Spoon about ¼ cup (60 G) of the stuffing into each muffin cup, filling just above the rims. Press down gently with a spoon to release any air pockets.
• Bake the stuffing cups for 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through and the tops are browned. Let rest in the muffin tin for 20 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of each cup to release.
• While the stuffing muffins cool, add the McCormick® Gravy Mix to a small saucepan. Pour in the water, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 3-5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
• Spoon the gravy over the sausage stuffin' muffins and serve warm.
• Enjoy!

CLASSIC SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, celery, sage and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and sausage-broth mixture and toss until evenly combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cover with foil.
• Bake the stuffing until hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

STUFFING MUFFINS

Steps:

• Line 12 jumbo muffin cups with paper liners and fill with your favorite bread stuffing (we used Mushroom-Leek). Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F until golden, about 45 minutes.
• Mushroom-Leek Stuffing: Make Classic Stuffing with 3 cups chopped leeks instead of onions. Cook 1 pound sliced cremini mushrooms with the leeks and celery.
• Classic Stuffing: Melt 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups each diced onions and celery and 1 tablespoon each minced sage and thyme; add salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add 3 cups turkey or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Beat 2 eggs with 1/4 cup chopped parsley in a large bowl; add 16 cups cubed stale white bread, then pour in the vegetable-broth mixture and toss. Transfer to a buttered baking dish and dot with butter. Cover and bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees F; uncover and bake until golden, 30 more minutes.

BEST SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large, deep skillet; cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Combine melted margarine with the sausage drippings until there is 1 cup of drippings and margarine combined.
• Cook and stir onion and celery in the margarine-dripping mixture in the same skillet over medium heat until onion is tender but not browned, about 10 minutes . Stir in about 1/3 of the bread cubes. Pour onion mixture into a large bowl and stir in remaining bread cubes, sausage, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it's hot. Mix well. This stuffing is ready for baking.
