"I don't need Thanksgiving or Christmas or any holiday to make stuffing," according to FLYINGSCOT4. "This recipe goes great with turkey, pork, chicken or just about anything!"

"Delicious," raves CookingIsArt. "I made the recipe as stated and it was so darn good. It is rich, so smaller portions are perfectly fine. We loved it and I will make this recipe again. Next time I might experiment with portobello mushrooms in this recipe."

"Super easy way to make stuffing, especially when you have so many other things to cook for a holiday meal," says mrsg0327. "Be very aware of how much you are making because that significantly impacts cooking time and the amount of moisture you need."
