Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"A wonderful basic stuffing side dish to a turkey or chicken dinner. After mixing in the bread crumbs add in more broth if too dry, it can never be too moist lol! I sometimes add in some frozen peas to."

A deliciously moist and easy to make stuffing with a great blend of flavours. I made this exactly to the recipe, except for using a red pepper rather than a green pepper: I always buy red peppers rather than the green peppers as I find them more flavoursome. I used fresh mushrooms. Loved this and I’ll be making it again. Thank you for another great recipe!
