If you’re a traditional bread stuffing purist don’t try this, especially on Thanksgiving when you don’t want to take any chances! I was after something different tonight and this was it. Green peppers in stuffing was a first for me. So was bacon. And this was the first time I did not add a beaten egg. Rather than boiling the vegetables, bacon and sausage, I browned the meats and sweated the vegetables. I added the warmed broth to the combined ingredients. I used about 1/3 less of the spices called for which proved to be a good call for us. Bottom line? Eh –nice to try, but not a repeat for us. There was so much going on with this stuffing that the “bread” part of bread stuffing was lost. Two stars from Hubs, and I’m being generous with my three.

This was different from any I have ever had. However, it fit right in with my southern/cajun family style. It was an excellent addition. It was also my first time making the stuffing so I'm proof it's a doable recipe.

I love this recipe.. I add water chestnuts and make it with chicken broth instead of water. It's great!

This is a really versitile recipe. I've made it half a dozen times. I use it to stuff mushrooms, flank steak and birds. Great everytime.

I thought after reading all of the wonderful reviews to try this recipe for this years Christmas dinner and it was just disgusting, Not one guest out of ten liked it. It is a good thing I had several other side dishes, and didn't rely solely on "Tom's stuffing" because it really was a flop. This is definately not worth the work or effort.

My family can't get enough of this, I made it for Thanksgiving and had to make it for twice since then! My any changes is adding celery, 2 tsp sage and rosemary and lightly toasting the bread before mixing with the other ingredients. Otherwise, fantastic! I have used this several times to make stuffed porkchops and with a pork crown roast.

I just made this recipe for the 3rd Thanksgiving in a row. I have never rec'd so many compliments, and for a stuffing recipe, who would have thought. I don't alter a thing. It is very flavorful & filling. Even if I don't host Thanksgiving, I have been asked to provide the stuffing, this recipe. Can't say enough about it, thanks!!!

My boyfriend and I have been making this recipe for the last four Thanksgivings and it is invariably the star course! We've even made this as the main dish for dinners. Very filling and delicious! Thank you, Mr Szaller! Update (6/7/09): Just to add that almost five years later, my now-husband and I still love this recipe. It is an integral part of our Thanksgiving meal!

I tend to try a new stuffing recipe every year. I have made many stuufings from fruit ones to the ordinary sage cornbread kind. But I'll tell you something, I tried this one for the first time this year. Next year I am going to use the same one. This is the best dressing ever, all I did to alter it was add about 2 tablespoons of sage. otherwise it is perfect and the only one I will use in years to come.
