I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stuffing turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This stuffing was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more broth or butter next time.

This sourdough stuffing was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The flavors of the sausage, apples, and golden raisins were perfectly balanced, and the sourdough bread gave it a nice tang. I will definitely be making this again next year.
