This is the BEST dressing I have ever tasted! I made this for Thanksgiving and my entire family loved it. My husband would not eat anything else until the entire pan was gone. I chopped all of the onions, pepers, etc. 2 days ahead and mixed the dressing the day before and refrigerated. On Thanksgiving, I just popped it in the oven. Well worth the work. It is so flavorful. My family has demanded that this become a new holiday tradition.
