A new fabulous stuffing recipe that combines my obsession with crunchy oozing with flavor croutons and glorious carby sides! This is a tornado of deep rich flavor that gets a head start because we use garlic croutons as the bread. Seriously, I even called my Mom I was so excited on how this turned out lol!
The secret to the bold flavor is the croutons themselves. Croutons are packed with juicy garlic flavor so they can stand up on their own while the stuffing mixes are dry with little seasoning. Also for more yum factor I add an extra egg to the mix so it has a slightly softer souffle’ feel. This will be an amazing side for chicken or turkey. All the fun holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter or the fun Sunday dinner with the fam! I hope you love this as much as I do and cheers to your new fave side!
