Notes
- *The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 cup of stuffing. Actual calories will vary.
- Day old bread that’s been left out overnight to dry is great to use. If you want to use bread right out of the package, cut it into pieces, place it on large baking sheets, and dry it out in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes. The bread should be dry and crunchy like croutons.
