Whether you call it stuffing or dessing, Thanksgiving isn't complete without a big bowl of this savory side dish. To make sure you have enough to feed a large group of friends and family or just to have leftovers for yourself, be sure to bake an extra casserole of dressing.
Start shopping now for the ingredients for your Thanksgiving dinner. The stores are starting to put the holiday cooking and baking ingredients on sale, and you don't want to wait in a long line at the supermarket on the last few days before Thanksgiving.
You can find the Mrs. Cubbison's seasoned dressing called for in the following recipe at local Bay Area Lucky, Food Maxx, Nob Hill, and Save Mart supermarkets.
