I have made this stuffing for the last 4 years — it’s honestly the best part of the Thanksgiving spread. I loathe cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, bland Turkey, and mashed potatoes. I like ham, pie, macaroni, and THIS!

Amazing flavor! I left the stuffing out because I must have missed it in the ingredients and it was delicious. Also roasted the squash. My new favorite fall side.
