Box stuffing tastes like gross salted mush

Stove top is good. Definitely use chicken stock, don’t skimp on the butter, and throw in an egg. If it’s no skin off your back to sauté an onion and a few ribs of celery, that really elevates box stuffing.

You could try it straight as it comes now, taste it, and decide if you want to use a broth or something else on the holiday one, or just go with what you have.


PS: Everything except water and butter, IIRC.

Stove top 100%. Don't bother with anything else.

Stove top! It is what tastes like tradition for most people. For me it has to be slightly burnt too, like mom’s.

If it’s a big group and we do two stuffings I will do a fancy cornbread one as well, but the stove top goes first!

She doesn't want a gourmet stuffing, just a non-snobby, traditionally Americana one. She food shops at Walmart and Shoppers because that's what she knows and likes. I'm choosing between Pepperidge Farm and Stove Top.


Pepperidge Farm, by a mile.


NO WAY. STOVE TOP is the best!!!!

OP you can't go wrong with some stove top.

We’ve done Savory Herb with chicken broth rather than water for relatives who like it. I prefer to make it from scratch, but the effort isn’t worth it for one person who wants stuffing.



Thanks, this is what I wanted to know!

Stove top is fine. Use turkey juices in it, and/or chicken broth instead of water if you can.
