I disagree that this is an enjoyable stuffing....it's a great stuffing,that's packed full of texture and flavour.
DH and I really REALLY enjoyed this..the kids (3 and 6) complained about the walnuts (they only eat raw nuts!!)...so next time I would leave them out-but I don't think that it would suffer immensely from their omission.
I cooked mine at around 200-220 degrees for about 35-40 minutes..covered the entire time...and we thought that it came out perfectly.
Thanks for yet another yummy recipe Doug!!!

Made for Every day is a holiday Tag. This dish is delicious but there are a couple of instructions missing.What temperature to bake it at and also in the first instruction, its not clear, maybe you should edit it to read~ Prepare and cook stuffing and rice blend according to instructions. All in all...yummy side dish!
