[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will tell you right now that I've done this and no one ever likes it as much as the bagged stuff. Seriously don't bother.[/quote]

We make a homemade sourdough stuffing that is my kids’ favorite Thanksgiving food. Pepperidge farm bagged stuffing would definitely not please our family![/quote]

Same. There would be a revolt if I didn’t make homemade. No one would touch the Pepperidge farm or stove top stuff [/quote]
I’ve made stuffing with homemade sourdough, and I’ve made it with Pepperidge Farm, in both cases with celery, sausage (half sage half hot) butter, and broth. I highly doubt that your family would revolt if you went the Pepperidge Farm route. They might even prefer it.  But it is nice of them to make you feel like the extra effort you are going to is worth it. [/quote]

I've used both as well. Honestly, by the time you load it up with butter, onion, celery, seasonings ... you really can't taste a difference in the bread. I'd love to see a blind tasting where people don't know which is from the PF bag, I doubt most people could pick it out.

The one thing that can make a difference is the size of the bread cubes. PF cubes are fairly small, which I like in a stuffing b/c they get well saturated with butter and seasoning. But if you like bigger cubes, you may need to cut your own bread. [/quote]

Yea the PF is just uniformly cut dry bread.  You can do that too.  But if you want bigger cubes or cubes that are less dry you need to make your own.  Because the Pf is very dry you need to add more broth which some people don’t like.

I’m intrigued by the egg versus not egg camp.  I don’t think I’ve added egg before but al now wondering if I should.[/quote]

The blue bag (I think it's labeled as classic?) of the PF stuff is not manufactured-looking cubes, it's more crumbled and torn.  And it was delicious. [/quote]
