To begin, place the stuffing mix into a microwave-safe bowl. Add in 1-2 cups hot water along with 1-2 tablespoons of butter or margarine. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or cling wrap.

Recipe For Making Your Own Stuffing Mix in the Microwave

- 1 Cup Minced Celery
- ⅓ Cup Butter
Now, all you need to do is mix all the ingredients together in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes.
