Must-Try Bread Stuffing
There’s nothing quite like the taste of an old-fashioned bread stuffing recipe on Thanksgiving.
It reminders me of stuffing that my grandmothers used to make and just makes it feel like the holidays.
The recipe takes awhile because of the time it takes to cook the turkey, but if you don’t want to cook it in the turkey, place it in a baking dish instead.
I’m more of an “out of the turkey” kind of stuffing girl myself because I like how it gets crunchy on top.
No matter how you cook it, enjoy it!
