Mrs. Cratchit probably used a recipe similar to this to serve husband Bob, Tiny Tim and the rest of the family, using it to stuff the Christmas goose.

Why Try? It’s a classic recipe, very traditional. And for good reason.

Foodie Byte: You can use your own stale bread, or pick up some stuffing bread they have for sale in bakeries and supermarkets.
