"When DH & I go to the U.S., I always bring home 2 lrg bags of Pepperidge Farm Dressing Mix. Like all of us I expect, I “doctor” it up a bit to suit our preferences. The simple truth is that after many yrs of making many versions of bread stuffing, I finally decided you just can’t beat it for flavor & ease of prep. After returning from the U.S. last mo w/my PFDM, DH went to Greece & I was alone at Thanksgiving. While not a holiday here, a local hotel advertised what they called a typical U.S. Thanksgiving meal & served it as a lunch buffet, so a friend & I went to ck it out. I really didn’t expect to learn much that would improve my own fare, but I was so wrong! I learned how to make the best bread stuffing I have ever put in my mouth! For me at least, an added bonus was that it has a distinct Eastern European flavor (Czech, Polish or German in my view), will be perfect to accompany our roast duck on Christmas Eve & would also be excellent w/roast pork & turkey. As good as this is, I suspect all 3 countries would love to claim it as their own. I hope you try this & enjoy it. It is just wonderful & I will never make another! Yield & times have been estimated. (Pic will post after Christmas)..."
