Thanksgiving Cranberry And Sausage Stuffing Muffins Recipe
Have you planned your Thanksgiving menu yet? My daughter and I got the cookbooks and recipes down from the shelf this weekend. We had fun looking through so many treasured recipes from my mom and my grandmother.
If I close my eyes, I can hear the clanking of dishes in the kitchen and the smell of delicious food cooking. Little did I know those memories would inspire me to be the foodie I am today!
Mom had many recipes we looked forward to devouring every holiday! I love that my foodie mom encourage her kids to be foodies as well! This year, I wanted to find a new recipe to serve my family this holiday season.
As a kid, mom served sausage and herb stuffing for the holidays. This year, I updated her recipe and I created these delicious Thanksgiving Cranberry And Sausage Stuffing Muffins Recipe.
We already loved mom’s classic stuffing recipe, so I knew the family would love this Thanksgiving Cranberry And Sausage Stuffing Muffins Recipe.
We all love the tartness of cranberries. I thought those would be a great balance to the spice of the sausage. When I found stove top herb stuffing at the grocery store, my recipe came together.
Henry loves it when I make recipes in muffin tins. He does not like turkey, so I make my Meatloaf Muffins topped with Mashed Potatoes. For a healthier option, I make them with ground turkey.
Look at how easy my Cranberry And Sausage Herb Stuffing Muffins are to make!
When you are making your stuffing, you may want to use chicken stock to make them even more flavorful. I know your family is going to love this recipe as much as my does! From my family to yours…Happy Holidays!
