Stuffed muffins are an excellent side dish that can be made using a variety of ingredients. Here's how to make gravy stuffed stuffing muffins:
Ingredients:
- 1 box stuffing mix
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons grated cheese (optional)
- Muffin liners or spray
- Muffin tin
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix with chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Pour 2 cups of water into a saucepan over medium heat. Once heated, stir in the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent clumping. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
4. Add butter, black pepper, and nutmeg to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and pour in the beaten egg. Stir until the egg is fully incorporated.
6. Divide the stuffing mixture evenly among the muffin liners or spray. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of gravy on top of each stuffing muffin. If desired, sprinkle some grated cheese over the gravy.
7. Bake the stuffed muffins in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Let the stuffed muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite meal or enjoy them as a snack on their own.
Tips:
- Use your preferred brand of stuffing mix.
- You can use any type of milk, such as whole, skim, or almond milk.
- If you don't have nutmeg, you can substitute it with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
- Use leftover gravy from your roast turkey or chicken for added flavor.
- You can also use cheese curds or feta cheese instead of grated cheese.
