Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning (such as Bell's®)
  • 2 loaves day-old white bread, torn into small pieces
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2
Place bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until cooked through but still slightly soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, retaining bacon drippings in the skillet.

Step 3
Melt butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat; saut? onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir cooked bacon and poultry seasoning into onion mixture, then transfer to a large bowl.

Step 4
Mix torn bread pieces into bacon-onion mixture in the bowl; fold in eggs. Spoon bread mixture into muffin cups.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until tops are crispy, about 25 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

This recipe can be lightened by using turkey bacon, chicken stock, and whole wheat bread. But if you are making it for Thanksgiving, I say just go for it!
