I hAve been making this since it was first puBLISHED. I really like using homemade cream of mushroom soup in it. I just save up bread , freeze it, and when I have enough I make this. Bread varies from time to time.

I've been making this stuffing for years. I usually bake it in the oven for holidays. Comes out great every time!

Made the whole house smell like Thanksgiving! The prep time was more like an hour for me. (rather than the 25 min it says)

Very good crock-pot recipe, which means it's very convenient. Nice one, too, to take to potlucks as a change from all the tomato-based pasta stuff people bring. Good down-home comfort food.
