I've made this stuffing several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and it's always moist and fluffy.

This stuffing is amazing! I made it for Thanksgiving last year and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it, even my picky uncle. It's so easy to make and it's so flavorful.
