Does anyone make stuffing and just bake in a casserole dish instead of inside the bird?

I love stuffing and could eat it all by itself but maybe you could have some green beans and a salad and some rolls if you really need something else but as I said, I could just eat that and forget about anythng else!!  I also like cranberry sauce with it.  My husband loved it with gravy on it and that was one of his favorite meals!!  Hope you have a good one, I'm drooling thinking about the stuffing!!  What time is dinner?????

I saw an interesting recipe for stuffing last week.  I was saving the paper it was in but somehow it got thrown out so I don't know the exact amounts but I think you could use your favorite recipe.

It was stuffing made with bread, eggs, seasonings and then was  shaped into patties and fried in butter.  I thought it sounded wonderful and something that would be good anytime as a side dish.

Hi, I make stuffing year round.  We only have turkey on Thanksgiving because DH does not like it, so when I want stuffing, I just make it with a roasted chicken.

I guess I make it about 4 -5 times a year.

I do it all the time. I love stuffing but am not that crazy about the meat. And I , like others, like it just by itself with nothing else LOL I like to slice  slices off after it gets cold and fry them in butter. Ummm delicious. But then I also will make just shells and tomatoes and eat that by itself too.

I would serve a salad and light soup maybe. Sounds good to me I love stuffing!!!

Here's Rachael Ray's recipe- very good!

Apple and Onion Stuffin' Muffins Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan 1 stick butter, softened 1 fresh bay leaf, available in produce department 4 ribs celery and greens, from the heart, chopped (save time and purchase celery already washed, trimmed and cut into sticks, this makes chopping fast work) 1 medium to large yellow skinned onion, chopped 3 McIntosh apples, quartered and chopped Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves 8 cups cubed stuffing mix (recommended: Pepperidge Farm) 2 to 3 cups chicken stock, available in paper containers on the soup aisle   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil to skillet and 4 tablespoons butter. When butter melts, add bay leaf and add the vegetables as you chop them, celery, onions then apples. Sprinkle the vegetables and apples with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Cook 5 to 6 minutes to begin to soften vegetables and apples then add parsley and stuffing cubes to the pan and combine. Moisten the stuffing with chicken broth until all of the bread is soft but not wet. Butter 12 muffin cups, 2 tins, liberally with remaining butter. Use an ice cream scoop to fill and mound up the stuffing in muffin tins. Remove the bay leaf as you scoop the stuffing when you come upon it. Bake until set and crisp on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove stuffin' muffins to a platter and serve hot or room temperature. Enjoy!   My SIL made this with crumbled, cooked sausage added in. Also very nice.   Margaret

I will sometimes make a batch of crockpot stuffing even though we aren't having turkey. I make chicken or something else. For us it is a wonderful side dish.

I usually make it for Christmas dinner and cook it in the crock pot. I fix it other times during the year also, but my Christmas one is with sausage and all the works. We usually have rib roast for Christmas dinner.

Thats the only way I ever make it Kim. Was always afraid of contamination when stuffed in the bird.

I love (dressing to us) stuffing. I could eat it every week. 

I wish I had seen your post yesterday. I would have had my husband stop at the bread store for some day old bread. Thanks to you it will be on my menu next week. No way am I going out in this snow and wind today for anything!

I agree that any kind of stuffing in a casserole, especially if you add meat, would make a wonderful supper. I generally make it with chicken, using a recipe my friend Maudie gave me. It is oh so good. Generally I have gravy with it ( the Heinz in a jar is very good and very easy) and then corn, baby peas, cranberry sauce and rolls.

Let me find Maudie's recipe and I'll post it for you. It's cornbread based though, so if you're not a "cornbread" girl, you might want to try a "bread" stuffing, but it's the same idea.

Here you go. She generally makes her own cornbread (as do I) since we're not crazy about the "sweet" cornbread in the mixes. Either one is fine:
