Grandma's Thanksgiving Stuffing

Chef #193653's Note:

This recipe was passed down from my grandmother. Better than the turkey, this stuffing is what reminds me of Thanksgivings around the family table. Rather than stuff the Turkey with it, I use it as a side dish.

Thanks! It was voted the best part of our Thanksgiving dinner. I used it as actual stuffing but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. Making it a day before was a good idea. We've been looking for a perfect stuffing and thanks to you we've found it.

A wonderful twist to my usual stuffing which doesn't have carrots in it! Recipe works perfectly -- thanks for sharing.

Everyone liked this a lot this Thanksgiving! I made it Wednesday and I just baked it today (Thanksgiving). I spooned it out of the pyrex baking dish and served it in a bowl which allowed the crisp top to mix with the moister inside. Thank you for a nice recipe! *This year I added 2 fistfuls of dried cranberries.
