    I really enjoyed this! Since I had never tried oysters in dressing before and I didn't know if everyone coming to dinner would appreciate them I only used one can. Everything else combined beautifully and my guests enjoyed this. The inclusion of mashed sweet potato was a nice surprise.

    This stuffing is so good! It smells so yummy when I'm cooking it that I can hardly wait to start eating it! I made it for my in-laws for Thanksgiving and they loved it (even the ones that don't care for oysters). I've made this a couple times and I find that using a cornbread - Read more ...

    I was a little leery in trying a recipe that only one person had rated so far but I took my chance. This is also the first time I made stuffing that was not Stove Top not to mention that I did it for an Easter party. EVERYONE like it and took some home with - Read more ...
