Traditional Baked Stuffing

Submitted by New Mom Kate

"This recipe was handed down by my great-grandmother. It is a family favorite that we make every Thanksgiving. This traditional stuffing has a crispy top with a moist inside. No need to worry about stuffing the turkey this year! This tasty side-dish bakes in a casserole dish or Pyrex bowl."

I really liked the stuffing, New Mom Kate. I had been wanting to try one with milk. I added some grated carrot (I love it in stuffing) and covered my pan with foil for most of the cooking time (since I like kind of "mushy" stuffing), uncovering at the end to get some crispy edges. I used one cup milk (it was pretty wet but not soggy). This was delicious tasting and I think the milk made it fluff up more. Thanks for posting. Roxygirl

A simple and good recipe, I spatchcocked a chicken and roasted it on top of the stuffing which came out pretty good.

Great , with gravy.. otherwise quite dry, I added 1.5 cups milk and 1 cup broth, plus an extra egg for a total of 2 eggs, still super dry... but, gravy "fixed" it. ??

I add breakfast sausage-thoroughly cooked and I cook diced onion in sausage fat and may need to add a little more butter. Remove all from pan and then then use the milk and eggs to almost a simmer. Add to bread, etc. It's like making a custard but doesn't come out that way. It's very good.
