Question: Should you use the seasonings contained in the stuffing mix when you sprinkle the dry stuffing over the casserole? OR, just the dry stuffing croutons alone?
use the whole box. The seasoning was mixed into my box.
Q: I know you say to not make the dressing, but would it be okay to *moisten* the Stuffing in a bowl with the Broth before applying to the top?
I was wondering if the topping might otherwise be too dry, so pondered whether that’d help or not…
Thanks…
Look, you can make this however you want. This is how we made it and it was delicious.
