Stuffing/filling/dressing -- whatever you call it, it sure is delish. I absolutely despised the stuff when I was young, & now it's one of my favorite items to make. I make up a lot of different types. This is what I made today with roast chicken & it is sooooo yummy!!! As usual, I didn't measure anything, so please use your judgment if you make.
