For some time I have been looking for a good recipe for dressing that is not stuffed in the bird, but baked separately. I would appreciate any that anyone can pass on. Thanks.

Does anyone have a recipe for stuffing that is baked in the oven instead of the turkey that turns out crunchy? I remember having this as a kid at a relatives house, it was so good, but don`t know how it was prepared.
An idea for you--
Make your stuffing how you might normally make it... but then pull it out of the turkey or the pan that you are baking it in and put it in a roasting pan.
I've always just put regular recipe stuffing mix in a shallow baking dish at 350 degrees for 30-45 min because inside the bird is too moist for my taste. Also, Rachael Ray demo'd this on her TV show yesterday: add a beaten egg to preferred stuffing recipe and mix; put scoopfuls in greased muffin tin and bake for crunchy "stuffing muffins". Go to her website for details.
any stuffing recipe that isn't too wet and baked in a shallow pan or muffin tins should have a "crusty" texture.
Have you tried crockpot stuffing? I find it gets crunchy on top and is moist on the bottom, something for everyone.
Crock Pot Stuffing
2 cups chopped onions
In a large fry pan saute onions, celery and apple in butter until onion is just translucent.
Stir in sage, marjoram, salt, pepper, savory and thyme.
Combine vegetable mixture with the bread cubes and parsley.
Toss well.
Pour stock over mixture, tossing well.
Spoon into your crock-pot.
Cover and cook on high for one hour.
Reduce to low and continue cooking for 2-3 hours,
* If you have vegetarians in the crowd use vegetable stock.
MY HUSBAND MADE STUFFING AND PUT IT IN MUFFIN TINS. IT WAS SO GOOD AND JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CRUNCHY NESS TO IT. PERFECT SERVING SIZE TOO
Here is my recipe
in butter cook 1/2 onion
1/2 cup celery until clear.
In large bowl combine onion, celery,
l pkg. corn bread stuffing mix
l pkg.cubed stuffing mix, herb seasoned.
We take a large iron skillet and bake one or 2 of the cake type of cornbread, no sugar in the recipe. Crumble this in a large dishpan or bowl and add however many pieces of dried, day-old bread or toast to this you need to feed your crowd. Much of this depends on how many you are serviing. We usually have a large crowd, 20 to 30 or more. Dice a stalk of celery, or less for your needs, a large onion, and add these to the bread mixture. Pour a large can of store-bought chicken broth or the broth off your turkey. Mash all this together to a fine consistency. Season w/salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and - it's always a debate every year - we add sage.
I add chopped walnuts. chopped up water chestnuts to get the crunch which I love. You find the water chestnuts in cans in Asian section of grecery stores.

Wonderful "spin" on traditional holiday dressing. Sure to be a hit year after year.
This recipe is delicious when used to stuff your birds for the holidays whether it be a turkey, chicken or, as we did for Thanksgiving Cornish Hens. It is very versatile, as you can also use it to make a casserole from the leftover turkey or chicken.
This is the recipe that my late Mother used and I have been using it for years.
I would not eat stuffing because I don't like onions. The first dinner I had with my new in-laws was Thanksgiving. When my mother-in-law set the big bowl of stuffing on the table, I thought it looked so good and smelled so good that I sampled it.
I buy seafood stuffing at my local supermarket, that I love. It has breadcrumbs, imitation crab meat, seasonings, and butter. I have tried to make my own and it does not taste great. Does anybody have a tasty recipe for me? Thank you.

Try this different stuffing dish with spinach and cheese.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a 2-quart casserole dish. Cover raisins with boiling water and let sit for 5 minutes.
I am not a good cook but I love Thanksgiving dressing. I would like to request a recipe for what I believe is called cornbread dressing.
