Afterword:
I would have liked to have included RAIN and RATE because they're so much fun, but I anticipated someone would contest them on a technicality: the –ING– gets put at the beginning, not stuffed in the middle.
Here are some others that didn't make the shortlist: BED, DOES, FRY, MATS, SWARM.
There is also an entire family of words like SING ––> SINGING in which there could be ambiguity as to whether the additional –ING– has been put at the end or stuffed in the middle.

They all
can have ING inserted internally to make a new word. Binge, contingent, cringed, dingo, evenings, ..., winged.
The title
is of course missing a space. "Stuff ING in the middle."
