    I LOVE stove top stuffing! I use it in several of my casseroles. What I absolutely hate is panko bread crumbs. Funny how people's tastebuds are so different. (correction…it is Pepperidge Farms herb stuffing that I use)

    • @eurekamarijka
      @eurekamarijka 2 года назад +6

      I always start with that Pepperidge Farm stuffing, such a great time saver and not too salty! I add cornbread, sausage, lots of chopped veggies. My favorite trick is to cook it in greased muffin tins so every piece has a crunchy edge! 😋

    When I was in college, we had a stuffing-making contest one Thanksgiving. There were six entries and most of them were 'grandma's recipe' - some with sausage, some with chestnuts, or apples, or whatever. Everyone was talking up their recipes all week. We brought Stove Top. Everyone loved it - we won the contest. I would have to say I do love salt, so the fact that you find it salty doesn't surprise me. But I love Stove Top Stuffing to this day.

    #2- lasagna-I think I might have used a bit of chicken broth instead of water to hydrate the casserole though part of the appeal of your channel is the thriftiness so maybe water would suffice. But I have a huge bag of dehydrated chicken broth from the survival store that makes a really tasty broth. Keep doing what you’re doing. . .love having discovered this channel.

Plus I boiled the chicken so I could use the broth since I didn’t have canned. But that sauce omg your so right so much better then canned anything 🤤😍❤️ don’t stop making these awesome recipes or finding them. It kinda reminds me of those frozen breaded chicken things you get in the freezer section they came in two flavors broccoli and cordon bleu.

    I have used potato chips as a topping also. When those crumbs are left at the bottom of the bag, throw them in a freezer bag in the freezer and grab a handful when you need some as a topping for casseroles, a filler for meatloaf, even mix with flour for breading chicken.

    My husband loves the chicken salad they sell at Sam's. I noticed one of the ingredients was water chestnuts, but they're chopped up. Does give it a nice crunch.
