This was the best dressing I have ever had. I can not help but compare this dressing to others I've encounter at pot lucks at work or at other relative's homes for the holidays. It never measures up to this recipe. I plan to volunteer a side dish and bring this dressing next year. Boy, they are going to rethink their own recipe and ask for this one.

I needed a bit more bread than 5 cups, finely diced the veggies instead of pureeing them, and would use just about 1 lb of sausage next time. My family is still talking about this!

Great recipe! I used chorizo instead of Italian sausage and omitted the chestnuts, but the outcome was nothing short of amazing. Served it with roasted duck. This dressing was a huge hit!

I cut the recipe in half because it does make a lot. I stirred the stuffing twice during the 30 minute cooking and made sure I greased the small roating pan with butter. Whatever -- I will make this again. Love it. Love the chestnuts.

For those of you having troubles with the chestnuts. Make sure to cut an X over one end of the nut and make it large. I use an exact-o knife. Then after they are roasted put them all in a towel and squeeze. It frees the shells up a little bit. It took me three tries over the last year to land on this as the quickest and easiest way I've tried to shuck chestnuts, By far!

I made this stuffing after Tyler's holiday cooking special last year and it was immediately named a new family tradition by all. So we've had 2 Thanksgivings and a Christmas with it thus far! LOVE IT!

The dressing was liked by all. However, it is difficult to peel the roasted chestnuts. If I would make the dish again I would not go through the process of peeling the chestnuts. I would either buy the peeled ones or substitute it with walnuts.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THE CHESNUTS WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO PEEL? I put slits in the chestnuts and rosted them till they started to peel, but i couldnt get those shells off for nothing! took me 2 hours ! not sure if i did something wrong. the stuffing tasted good and i did love the chestnuts taste but i dont think i will make this again unless i buy chestnuts already peeled.

I'm not a cook, so followed recipe exactly. I did a test run 2 days before thanksgiving cause I'm nervous that way... my 2 kids/hubby LOVED! Made another batch for the big day & one guest that hates stuffing decided to try because she kept overhearing how good the stuffing was. She broke down and tried it, loved it, kept saying she's never like stuffing until now and she is a cook and asked for the recipe. I wish I would have read about Trader Joe's chestnuts cause I didn't even know what a chestnut really was and roasting them was worth it but still too much work for this amateur cook. I did Tyler's sweet potato (diced, drizzled with honey, oil, cinnamon and it was a hit too. People were saying they usually hate sweet potatoes because too sweet and these were just good. I didn't even know who this Tyler guy was but I'm looking forward to trying many more recipes and may even learn to enjoy cooking if it keeps turning out this way. So happy to have found him!

Made this for the first time for Thanksgiving day dinner. I also used the steamed chestnuts from Trader Joe's and followed the recipe as written. It was wonderful. It had tons of flavor and everyone came back for seconds. We didn't have any left overs.

Mine was just a bit too wet and probably could have used a few more minutes in the oven. But I also realized I dried my sour dough bread and the recipe doesn't call for dried bread so I don't know if the dried bread couldn't absorb the liquid hence the stuffing being more wet?

I plan to make it for Christmas dinner with my family and will not dry the bread and also maybe increase the cooking time by a few minutes. I know my family will love it as muh as my husband's family did!
