Classic Easy Thanksgiving Stuffing
My boys favorite part of Thanksgiving is the stuffing. It might be that I only make it once a year. I always make double batch because I know it will not go to waste. Using boxed or homemade bread cubes and chicken broth, you can just use this recipe or add more veggies or other items like dried cranberries, raisins, chopped nuts, etc.
