Since discovering stuffing last year, the kind that doesn’t come in a box and doesn’t contain celery, that is, I have been counting down the days until I could create another. Actually, I just came up with this idea last week, but it’s genius if I do say so myself.
Apple, cheddar, and caramelized onions, are all great on their own, they are all great together, and then they are magnified in stuffing form. And by stuffing, I am told this creation is more of a story bread pudding, but I am just going to call it stuffing, and suggest everyone makes it for Thanksgiving.
Also, if you missed my stuffing from last year. It was also amazing, and I do suggest you consider making at least one! Butternut Squash and Mushroom Stuffing.
