I'm giving this 4 stars because I think the reason I didn't care for it was my own fault. I used only 1 loaf and margarine instead of butter, and it was really greasy (definitely not dry!). The chestnuts were a pain in the butt but they were tasty, and I added golden raisins (I like a lot of "stuff" in my stuffing). I will definitely try again with real butter, and I may add more raisins or cranberries.

This was tasty, but I think there should be more chestnuts in it, I did take the other reviewers advice and half the amount of bread and I added half a small tin of water chestnuts that I had leftover but it still needed more. It's a good starting point though. Thank you

Very good. I tried roasting the chestnuts instead of boiling, and some of them popped, making a big mess. It is a job to prepare them!

I used one loaf of bread, cut into small cubes, and half way through cooking added 1 1/2 cups of turkey brooth so it was more moist. The best stuffing we have ever had! Wow!!

The flavor of this dish was pretty good. You do have to be careful about how much bread you use if you want a moist stuffing. Mine was a little too dry I think. Allow for some time to peel and chop the chestnuts (it took me almost an hour). I have never used them before so there may be a trick to it. I don't know. I do know I was hating them at the time.

Delicious. Like others I only used half the called-for bread, and even at that I added some broth at the last minute to make it moister, but the flavor was wonderful.

I was the original poster of this recipe and I love checking back in year after year to see more people have tried it! **Just a friendly reminder, the recipe calls for 2 loaves of bread but it seems to work much better with 1-1 1/2 loaves to avoid dryness. You could also add another egg if you prefer to use 2 loaves.** Thanks so much for enjoying my Nana's recipe, this is a true tradition in my family and I'm thrilled to share it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving 2007!

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! I'll make it again next year. My husband just happened to come in from work with a bag full of chestnuts someone had given him, so I found this recipe and, wow. I did cheat and use a 1 lb bag of the herbed stuffing, but the chestnuts really made all the difference. Actually, I don't think I can wait until next year. Christmas is right around the corner....

I have to say this stuffing was amazing. I only used 1 loaf of bread and it wasnt dry at all. Everyone complemented me.

The chestnuts were meaty and added great flavor to the stuffing. I used only half the bread, but it was still a bit dry. The butter also added a uniqueness to the stuffing instead of the usually chicken broth. Next time I might add another egg or two.

Wonderful! Just like I remembered when I was a kid. I'll use this every time we have turkey! Thank you!

I submitted this recipe 4 years ago and thought I'd come back and see how people have liked it. Thank you for all the nice feedback! I'll be sure to pass this along to my Nana, she'll be thrilled. From what I gather this recipe may call for too much bread. I am going to try it this year with one loaf and see how it goes (it also depends on the size of your bird). I hope you try this with your family, they're sure to love it like my family does! Honestly I look more forward to this stuffing than the turkey!! Thanks again and happy Thanksgiving!

I don't remember if I wrote last year after Thanksgiving, but this stuffing is amazing. My 90 yr old mother-in-law said it was the best stuffing she has ever had, and she is never making stuffing again, because "mine" was so good. Quite a complliment from an Italian mother-in-law!!! I'm making it again this year, can't wait. thanks.

I tried this fantastic recipe for my Thanksgiving dinner and WOW was it a hit! I got numerous compliments on it. Thanks so much!

Dry and tasteless. Perhaps 1 loaf of bread would have worked.

My husband and I had all my family to our house for Thanksgiving this year. It was the first timeI had ever cooked an entire turkey with dressing and gravy. So this was a big deal. Everything had to be perfect. I came across this recipe and thought I'd try it out. IT WAS AWESOME!! It was very easy and didn't take a long time to prepare. The chestnuts really add a nice flavor texture to the stuffing. And it goes GREAT with gravy. We will be adding this to our repetoire of family recipes to be used on Thanksgivings and Christmas' in our homes from here on out. Thank you for sharing! Sincerely, Paige Cassidy

Yum! The flavor of this stuffing is so good, I can't wait to make it for Christmas! The next time I make it though, I will only use one loaf of bread so it is a little bit more moist.

Great recipe. Everybody in my family loved the stuffing. Thanks!

Maybe I read something incorrectly, but I had to use half the bread that was called for in the recipe. What I did make was very good, though.
