My late father was always the master cook at Thanksgiving. This is his recipe since the beginning of time. I think it has Amish origins, not sure. We are Polish, PA coal miner heritage. I've tried to duplicate it without a written recipe for many years. My brothers always poo-poo me, unmatched to Dad's. He put meat in it sometimes (sausage or ground beef or both). I've made it different ways, but those saltines are always the base. Bread cube stuffing is just dumb compared to this: it slices great for day-after sandwiches, too. Thanks for recognizing this rendition.

First, I absolutely love your recipes ...Chef John!<br /><br />First, I absolutely love your recipes and I think you are delightful. <br /><br />Second, my husband and I host a Thanksgiving dinner each year for our close friends. The last two years, I've tried to duplicate my mom and grandma's stuffing recipe. It's been a bust and, unfortunately, they are no longer with us for me to glean it from. I decided to try something new this year and I always check your recipes first. <br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to confirm that if I am making this as stuffing that I stuff it in the bird and cook it the entire time the turkey is in, correct? I'm sure that seems obvious but I'd rather be safe than sorry. <br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463240684234743905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-1736012231244367362012-11-24T11:44:12.403-05:002012-11-24T11:44:12.403-05:00Sure, but will be sweeter.

Lots of travel and little time for visiting. The turkey and stuffing must be exactly the way Mom/Grandma/somebody's uncle made it. Side dishes are almost an afterthought - frozen veggies simmered in water and dotted with butter. Dinner rolls. That's it. No room for novelty, or creating new food memories.<br /><br />This year I'm spending Thanksgiving with my sister in Rochester NY (whom I haven't seen in years) and her husband's relatives. Not looking forward to the drive, but it'll be nice to catch up and get a quick look around the old stomping grounds. Who knows? Maybe I'll score a case of Zweigle's white hots while I'm up there.Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12297446657314042486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-67020654296849505182012-11-16T17:48:59.188-05:002012-11-16T17:48:59.188-05:00Ha, First!Ha, First!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
