Poultry Dressing

I have had this recipe for many years. It was a grand prize winner in a competition in Canadian Living magazine in the side dish category. It's delicious. I freeze it in shortening boxes, lined with wax paper. Then I can just take out one and slice it when I need it as a good accompaniment to chicken or pork chops.
