"This is the stuffing that my mom makes very Thanksgiving, and it's absolutely divine. The holiday just isn't the same without the taste of this dish. The day after it's cooked, it's wonderful cold, too! This recipe makes enough for a 12-pound turkey, about three quarts of stuffing."

"Very tasty and very easy to make. The stuffing that came out of my turkey was the first thing on my table to disappear. The only ingredient that I added was leek. 3 stalks, finely chopped and sauteed with the onion. {I love leek and try to use it as often as possible) "
"Simple. I always hated stuffing until I discovered this recipe! I upped the bread to 16 c., added 1/2 c. of butter, reduced the salt to 2 tsp, dampened with chicken broth, and baked in casserole dishes at 350 for 20-ish minutes. I think next time I'll throw in some poultry seasoning and pork sausage for fun, but it's amazing as is."
"I'm Mom, and this is how I make our dressing every year. We now use the crock pot rather than stuffing the turkey, but it still comes out wonderful. If you think your dressing is a bit too dry, try adding a mixture of broth and a little melted butter, mix well, cover, and let it sit for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork for serving. My kids won't let me make stuffing any other way but by using this recipe, and I love it, too."
"I have used the Betty Crocker stuffing dressing many times in the past and it is a "keeper". I printed out this one so I could have it handy and not have to get out the big cookbook. The amount of salt was way too much. I used a little over a Tablespoon and the stuffing was so salty that no one ate the stuffing. I got out the Betty Crocker Cookbook and her recipe uses only 2 teaspoons , not 2 Tablespoons. Needless to say, I had to throw all of it out, it was so very inedible!!"
"I made this for Thanksgiving and it was good but VERY salty! I should have listened to other reviewers & gone with much less salt. But other than that, it was just perfect. Just what I was looking for as a traditional stuffing like my grandma used to make. Sadly, I don't have her recipes, but who knows, maybe she used this one! Thank you for posting."
"Made this in the crockpot to accompany a roasted turkey breast recipe. It was fantastic. We loved the addition of baby bella mushrooms and the sage. We'll definitely make this again. Thanks!"
"This is, like many here, the stuffing that my family has used for 40 years and the only stuffing recipe I use. We do have our own way of making it (of course!), I use a little more butter and blend one egg per loaf of bread used to the broth before I mix it in with the bread. Plus we use A LOT of broth, the stuffing ends up almost being a solid lump of bread that is NOT fluffy at at but it's so good! :)"
"Everything in this recipes is fantastic, but adding one ingredient has made me family adore this for years! Just by adding ground pork sausage, it adds a special amount of spice and complexity to the dish! Thanks for the recipe, and give my idea a try!"
"Love this! I followed suggestions of foundajob and worked out well. I used salted butter and then left out the 2 Tbsp of salt. I also started out with over 16 cups of bread crumbs (12 cups from a loaf I left out all night and the broke into pieces in the morning and then 4 from Stove Top). I then increased the chicken broth accordingly. I stuffed my turkey and then baked the rest in a side dish for about the last 25 minutes with my turkey. My family loves stuffing so I didn't want to run out! Thanks again!"
"I needed a recipe for stuffing "just like mom made" and this was it! The stuffing was delicious! My first thanksgiving turkey and stuffing were a hit! Thanks, Julesong!"
"Really delicious but the salt should be 2 tsp rather than 2 Tbls. I like crunch and more mushrooms so I thick sliced the celery and quartered 2C mushrooms. Slightly saute the celery after the onions and mushrooms are done. Note: I made this for a kosher friend and used all canola oil/ still delicious. I also used her dense challah bread so I needed to use kosher chicken broth (high in sodium) to hold the stuffing together. In this case, I would recommend eliminating the salt altogether, especially if the gravy is salty."
"Just like mom used to make. I made this for our family holiday and we didn't have much for leftovers. This is a really good stuffing recipe, I felt like I was at my moms table again. Thank you for sharing with us this delicious recipe."
"made recipe exactly as posted loved the stuffing but for us was to salty will be using this recipe every year but definately cut back the salt thanks for sharing"
"This is basically what my mom made, too---but added roasted walnuts and cooked&crumbled sage-flavored breakfast sausage and thyme. Somewhere along the way I lost the exact proportions, so THANKS for posting this! And we still cook most if it inside the turkey. If you take it out of the turkey, toss it with any of the stuffing cooked outside of the turkey, and then put it back in the oven until it's reached (what do they say now--165?) you're golden! And it will all taste turkey-licious."
"This is the best stuffing I have had! My husband and daughter have never been fans of stuffing and even they loved it! I agree with cutting the salt down. I use 2 teaspoons - you can always add additional salt later if needed. Thank you for sharing my new go-to stuffing recipe!"
"great stuffing!!! everyone enjoyed very much!!"
"Did I not add enough broth? Should I have used white bread instead of wheat? I don't know, for some reason it didn't satisfy. Don't get me wrong, it will get eaten. It wasn't bad. But, it didn't have the "wow" factor."
"Sounds just like my GRANDMA's...except as stated below we use a cream of mushroom soup, poultry seasoning, and 1 baked jiffy cornbread pan. We do not use the broth. But this recipe is great! Thank you!"
"I think this is the recipe my mom used to make but she used a can of mushroom soup instead of the mushrooms. It doesn't surprise me as she never used mushrooms! Her stuffing was always very moist. She would add a can of mushroom soup and then water (she never used chicken broth either) to moisten it. I know she used poultry seasoning instead of the sage. Anyway, it's fantastic to find it."
