Stuffing Choices

 Even though it's a side stuffing is important to the Thanksgiving dinner. The question is what kind will you make? Will it be a quick stove top one or will it be a family recipe scratch one? If that's the case then what to put into it.

SInce I am a big  -all right - huge Lidl fan I went with their cornbread stuffing. All their products are super tasty so I was excited to buy this. Also it;s an easy stove top one that just requires half a stick of butter or margarine and a half cup of water. I want an easy everything this holiday, I don];t have the time to fret over ingredients.

Everything is premixed and preseasoned exactly.It'll be an easy cook on top of the stove while the Tofurky takes up the the oven.

If I had chosen to make the homemade version, I;'d probably use the family recipes that came from my grandfather's family in Swabia, Southern Germany. This is  really a  savory  bread pudding, redolent with celery and sage. egg and some milk is mixed with white bread (although sometimes we used stale Italiian and French bread) it has a crispy crust from being in the oven and it was perfect for absorbing gravy. Other people put sausage or add rice .  There is also a wild mushroom stuffing in which the mushrooms are mixed into a  traditional bread one.Stuffing can  be baked as one big pudding or into ramekins. Again this is up to you and the amount of people you'll be serving.

Home chefs can go the easy route with a stovetop stuffing or the more laborious one with a scratch  one. It's up to what they can handle. Either one is perfect for Thanksgiving,
