Sausage Bacon Apple Stuffing
“This sausage bacon apple stuffing recipe will be a full-flavored holiday side dish. It's filled with sausage, bacon, apples, dried cherries, sauteed onions, and an assortment of herbs and spices. This fluffy stuffing is super moist and almost a meal in itself. So good!” - Kitchen Crew
Cajun Oyster Stuffing
“This is a great twist on a holiday favorite for oyster lovers. This stuffing is flavorful from all the fresh veggies mixed with the briny flavor of the oysters along with the traditional seasonings. The stuffing is very moist and the Cajun seasoning gave this dish just a little kick. It's not spicy, just enough spice to live up to the Cajun name without being overpowering.” - Kitchen Crew
Corn Bread Stuffing with Chorizo
“The texmex corn bread stuffing with chorizo turned out really well. The slightly sweet, moist, and coarsely crumbly corn bread worked well in the spicy stuffing. The stuffing was nice and moist and tasty and had just the right combination of sweet and spicy.” - Kevin
Sausage and Potato Stuffing
“This stuffing will taste just as delicious the next day just top it off with an over-easy egg and ta-da! Breakfast! Enjoy it.” - Adriana
Sausage and Mushroom Stuffing
“This is a quick and easy stuffing recipe to prepare when in a pinch. Much of the seasoning comes from the herb stuffing mix, but the sage sausage and fresh veggies amp up the flavor. We really liked the addition of mushrooms. They give a nice texture to the dish. Butter helps with moisture and adds its wonderful flavor. Slightly different than cornbread stuffing/dressing and just as delicious.” - Kitchen Crew
Oyster Dressing
“My recipe I use all the time. We used to have mega buffets on 4 holidays of the year & we made several hotel pans of this every time.” - Peggi
Old Time Chicken n Dressing - Crock Pot Style
“My grandmother taught me how to make our family's Old Chicken n Dressing recipe, that has been handed down for generations.” - Cindy
Almond-Bacon Bread Stuffing
“A fantastic stuffing recipe! It has all the flavors you expect in a holiday stuffing but it's made even better. Adding bacon and toasted almonds adds so much flavor. Cooking onions and celery in the bacon grease give them a smoky flavor. Serve alongside your holiday meal for a delicious side dish.” - Kitchen Crew
Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing
“I was sick of the soggy bird stuffing and this is fresh, different and complements the meal perfectly. We still have the boring old-fashioned stuffing too, but this always goes first!” - Dannell
Caramelized Onion Cornbread Dressing
“I make this year round, and there's never any leftovers. After trying this, there's no way you could go back to boxed stuffing mix! It's a perfect ‘make ahead’ dish, cause you can go through all the steps, except baking, and leave it in the fridge til you're ready.” - Heather
