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. Melt butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat; sauté onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir cooked bacon and poultry seasoning into onion mixture, then transfer to a large bowl. Mix torn bread pieces into bacon-onion mixture in the bowl; fold in eggs. Spoon bread mixture into muffin cups. 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! If you think the stuffing is too dry after adding the eggs, you can add bacon drippings (or milk or chicken stock) until you get the right consistency.
