Easy & Very Tasty! A great treat without using the oven I did not have enough wheat bread -so sub in white bread plus left over prepackaged stuffing and it worked out just wonderful. I do not think the left overs in freezer will last long!

I have made this for a mission trip to feed 125 people and for my church on Wednesday night (80 people) and it is FABULOUS! Thanks so much! I usually serve it with Green Beans, good Rolls and Chicken Gravy.

Super. I did add some seasonings as it seemed bland without. I make all of my own bread, and next time I think a nice herbed bread will make it even better.
