Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Everyone loves stuffing! Cooking stuffing in its own dish instead of inside the bird will also produce moist and flavorful results. It's an easy solution that saves time since you don't have to remove the stuffing from the cooked bird when it's ready for carving.
  • tip 2
    Stuffing is traditionally served with holiday turkey, but it's just as welcome with grilled chicken, pork roast or pork chops. So don't wait until the next holiday to serve this easy-to-make stuffing.
