We never had "stuffing" growing up, we had cornbread dressing.
Now, I make mine with a pan of buttermilk cornbread, 1 box of chicken flavored stovetop, 1 cup of chopped yellow onions, 1 cup of chopped green onions, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 tsp. sage, 1 tsp. black pepper, 3 beaten eggs and enough chicken broth to make it soupy. bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour to 1 hour & 15 minutes.

Mahalo to some of the suggestions here, my stuffing turned out better than ever - even our guests thought so!!

I used Stove Top stuffing - substituting chicken broth for water. I cooked chopped onion and celery up in the chicken broth before adding the breadcrumbs. Terrific and there even was some redeeming factor in the veggies!!

Mahalo for all the ideas!!

My dad (of all people) taught me to make stuffing. I bake it seperately and it's never dry. We have a big cookout on Labor day every year, and always have leftover hamburger and hot dog buns- those become my stuffing along with leftover odd pieces of cornbread.
I cut up my celery and onions ahead of time and freeze them in a ziplock bag. Cook the veggies in a pound of butter until they're translucent. Dump them plus a can of chicken broth and a couple of beaten eggs onto the breads.
I season with sage, thyme, parsley and whatever green herbs I have on hand (never the same two times in a row), garlic, salt and pepper and a couple shots of hot sauce. Needs about 30 minutes @ 350 degrees in a greased 13 by 9 pan. Delish, and it's not hard at all, you can do most of it ahead of time.

This is very similar to our recipe: bread, onions, celery, carrots, bacon then herbs and spices. Cooked on the stove then baked on its own in the oven beside the bird.

As a treat, my dad and I will sometimes make it when we buy a store bought rotisserie chicken and steam some veggies, voila, instant dinner. We have stuffing several times throughout the year. YUM!

I find the store bought boxed stuffing way too salty for my liking and I love salt. Thats what I find odd. Also, not a big fan of fruity nut stuffing either. But totally prefer homemade all the way!

I always make mine from scratch for Thanksgiving. It is so easy and tastes better. I stuff it in the turkey and remove it as soon as I take the bird out of the oven. Yummy! A couple of my sons friends came over today and they said it is the best stuffing they ever had and they were going to sneak out the left overs. lol
