Getting Ready for Thanksgiving #9

Choosing your side dishes for Thanksgiving can be fun but also a lot of work to prepare. Here is my simple way for making stuffing.

Tip #9
Years ago our mothers and grandmothers baked bread and cornbread for their dressing. This can take a lot of time that you may not have to spare. I've found that the pre-packaged stuffing/dressing mix works just a well. The amount you will need depends on the number of people you plan to serve. I buy prepare for 15-20 people so I buy 2 large packages of stuffing mix. I saute 2 large chopped onions to add to my stuffing. I love the taste of sage so I add enough to suite my taste. You can use drippings from your turkey or canned chicken broth. Add enough to moisten your dressing. I then pour mine into a large baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray and bake in a 375 degree oven until done. Add other ingredients to fit your own taste. I sometimes add celery that I saute with the onions.
