Holiday Dressing (or Stuffing)
Down South, they call this dressing. Up north they call this stuffing. Since I smoke one turkey and deep fry the other turkey, I no longer stuff a bird so we call it dressing.
I like to make it from scratch; the stuff from the box is pretty good but this is definitely better and not that much more work. I like to cook it uncovered in the oven, so that most of the dressing stays moist but the top gets crispy.
