  1. I can't say enough good things about this stuffing. i made it for thanksgiving '11 for me and the hubbs and he LOVED it, he even loved it even more than his moms. great job.
     
  2. I was assigned to bring stuffing again this year for Thanksgiving. Last year's stuffing was really good, but I thought to myself, what could make this year's stuffing even better? And it came to me: what makes anything better? Bacon, of course. Off I went to find the perfect stuffing that combined the magical powers of butter and bacon. <br/><br/>I chose this one because it looked very similar to the recipe I used last year, except that it used less butter and (of course) added bacon. Since it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without blocked arteries, I decided to use half butter and half broth, rather than the full amount of broth. For herbs, I used dried rosemary and sage.<br/><br/>The stuffing turned out, as I expected, absolutely fantastic. The top pieces got slightly buttery-crunchy, and below that was deliciously moist. We absolutely loved it.<br/><br/>Thanks for the great recipe!
