Cast Iron Skillet Cranberry Stuffing

Growing up, I never ate stuffing.  I just never cared for the mushy mess and never understood the point.  As my youngest sister notes, “I like bread in it’s original form just fine.”  And to that, I must agree.

 

But….

 

A stuffing done just right really is pretty awesome – all those yummy flavors coming together in one dish.  My mother makes incredible stuffing and often more than one variety for Thanksgiving so she can please both those who like it soft and those who like it crunchy. She’s been known to make a special dish just for my father, who loves nuts, because the rest of us aren’t crazy about them.  She’s pretty incredible.

 

Back to the stuffing, this short-cut recipe uses a store-bought base (you have enough to do, why reinvent the wheel??).  It’s prepped, baked and served in the same pan and there’s minimal clean up – gotta love that! Be sure to print this cranberry stuffing out so you’ll have it on hand!
