Notes
*Depending on the type of bread you are using, you may or may not need to use additional broth. If you find that the uncooked stuffing seems too dry after you mix it, add in a bit more broth depending on your preferred texture.
The stuffing will last up to 2-3 days covered in the refrigerator. You can reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed throughout with a little extra broth to soften it if it becomes dried out. It’s also pretty tasty cold
