This recipe is one of my very favorites. During the holidays I double it for Christmas and Thanksgiving. However, in the middle of the year, when I’m craving some good ol’ fashioned stuffing… Weekend Stuffing is perfect.
You can make Weekend Stuffing for Sunday dinner or anytime. It uses just the right blend of seasoning, is perfectly moist on the inside & crusty on the outside. You can easily add mushrooms, cranberries or anything else that you fancy but I highly recommend you try this as is.
Weekend Stuffing tastes delicious with Roasted Chicken and mashed potatoes. I prep my gravy first and add it to stuffing. Try my tasty gravy recipe. It is especially helpful when you are short on broth and haven’t any of the packaged kind.

What a yummy looking recipe! I love stuffing, and it would be especially nice to freeze some and have it just to pop in the oven anytime.
