This stuffing is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the day before Thanksgiving and then just reheat it on the day of.

This stuffing was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll add a little more broth or butter next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my stuffing turned out dry and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This stuffing was a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try using less figs next time.
