Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add celery, cook and stir 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in stuffing mix, cranberries and walnuts. Add 1 cup of the cheese and the egg; mix lightly.

Spoon stuffing mix evenly into 8 greased medium muffin cups, mounding mixture as necessary to use all the stuffing mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

Bake 10 minutes or until stuffing cups are heated through and cheese is melted.
