I took advice of other users and poured on extra chicken stock before baking. Was still very dry. Combination of ingredients was good but not sure I would use this recipe again.




recipe not too dry!

After reading the other reviews, a lot of people commented that the recipe was too dry. I think they may have missed the last ingredient which calls for 2-3 cups of stock. With this I think the recipe's perfect. Also, use Granny Smith apples and sage sausage!




Way too dry as recipe is written

Use three boxes of Stove Top, add 2 cups of water and 2 cups of chx broth. Add only one stick of butter and follow directions as otherwise stated. Turns out amazingingly yummy, not too greasy and all the flavors really come through




yummy

It was very good, not enough sausage flavor. The walnuts added a nice crunch

Although the instructions don't give you the pkg size for the stuffing, large can be anything. I used three standard box's of Stove top, used 32 oz of chicken stock instead of water ( for more flavor) and it still needed more moisture. I would use at least another can of stock and used sage sausage. IT WAS WONDERFUL. The flavors were right on. It was delicious!

My family talked about his stuffing for days.

User: Sara and Nate from Fort Mill, SC    User Rating:
I only used two bags of stuffing and a pound and a half of sausage and cooked everything like it said, Until the oven part. We then put it in the crock pot and let it cook on low for an hour and a half then on warm for about two and a half hours. Man it was awsome. My family is still talking about this suasage after one try it made it to the family holiday recipe book.




Wonderful flavor combination

User: CHARMAIN from Waynesboro, GA    User Rating:
the flavors in the recipe are excellent combination. It was a little dry but I think that was my fault. I adjusted some of the ingredients and most likely didn't add enough liquids. But without a doubt I'll fix it again and again.




Add extra broth!!

After reading the reviews, I was prepared for this yummy side dish to need a little extra liquid. I doubled the liquid, but on Thanksgiving Day the stuffing was still too dry. I'd reserved a small casserole-sized dish for a day or so later. When it came time to cook it, I added chicken broth about half way up the pan. Perfect! I cooked it according to directions and the stuffing had terrific flavor and was nice and moist.




outstanding

This was a great recipe. After reading the previous reviews I used the MacIntosh apples, and fat free chicken broth instead of water. It was delicious cooked in the turkey or without. I did both. I passed it to my sister and she had rave review also. The Holiday Sweet Potatoes from last year did not return this year and that recipe was also great. I had many compliments and recipe wanters also.




Exceptional !!!

I made this yesterday for my Thanksgiving dinner. I wanted to try a new recipe, something savory. And boy oh boy was this the winning recipe! Everyone loved it and I will definitely keep this recipe as my dressing of choice. I used the MacIntosh apples, but will try granny smith next time.




Awesome...

User: susie from hackettstown, NJ    User Rating:
This was way too dry even after adding extra broth. After pouring all the breading in a bowl I realized there was way too much of it. I took some out and still there was too much. Hardly any flavor. I won't make this again, no one even ate it.




What size bags?

Way too dry for our group. The recipe calls for large bags. We used 1-lb bags. The sausage, apple, celery mix had a wonderful taste and I'm sure the stuffing would have been great if I hadn't used so much stuffing.




WOW!!

User: BECKY from louisville, KY    User Rating:
Normally, I hate stuffing...they all taste the same. But this...THIS is soooo good! My whole family (including grandpa, who normally makes his own stuffing, and doesn't vary) loved it. All the flavors blended so well together, and combined with the turkey, it was absolutely marvelous. The recipe doesn't say what kind of apples to use, but I used Gala, and it worked great. Too bad I didn't make a double recipe;)




Excellent stuffing!

I made the stuffing with the Macintosh apples and it came out great. I may experiment with Granny Smith's during the year.




like sawdust, if you follow the recipe

I wonder if 3 large bags of dry stuffing mix is a typo. 3 large bags is waaaay too much for only 2 cups of water, and waaaay too much to fit in a 9x13 inch dish. By the time I realized this and tried to save the stuffing with more butter and with chicken broth, it still wasn't enough. We threw it away and had Thanksgiving without stuffing. Ingredients are good, but just use maybe 1 bag of stuffing.

I prepared this dressing also. It was a hit with everyone. It was easy to make and tastes good. This can be made throughout the year, complimenting even my pork dishes. Thank's .




not enough liquid

User: S from Des Moines, WA    User Rating:
3 large bags of cornbread stuffing require MORE THAN just 2 C of water total. In fact, the stuffing bag says to use 2 cups for the bag. So, I added 3-4 more cups water; if I hadn't done so, the stuffing would have basically been croutons.




Great Stuffing

My husband won't make any other stuffing. At Thanksgiving, I can't get near the stuffing. The entire family enjoys it as well.

Just Like Mom's!

User: LESLIE from Cuero, TX    User Rating:
Yummy! Just the perfect amounts of sage and thyme. I halved the recipe and found that the ingredients were more than overflowing in a 9 x 13 pan. I would say the whole recipe is enough for two pans. Also, for half the recipe, after I put the stuffing in the 9 x 13, I poured a little more than half a can of chicken broth over the whole pan. Get your hands in there and mash it all together to make sure it's moist enough. Add a little more broth, if needed. Definitely a keeper!




Not enough details.

User: NICOLE from Las Vegas, NV    User Rating:
It says 2 large bags of cornbread stuffing. How many ounces/pounds is large???? What kind of apples should I use??? Another reviewer recommended MacIntosh, but that sort of information should be included by the person who wrote the recipe.

They weren't to fond of this mix. I guess some people are just comfortable with the same old box mix that they grew up with. It certainly is different that what we were used to but I thought it was ok.

I made this for thanksgiving last year, and it has become one of my signature dishes. May be a little dry, so use extra butter/water. Also, Macintosh apples are the perfect choice for this recipe.

Different than the usual stuffing for holiday meals. Simple, tasty and displays marvelously. The crunch of the apples make it perfect.
