What Can I Make With Leftover Stuffing
My family is crazy about stuffing, or dressing as some people call that wonderful concoction that fills the inside of our Holiday bird. I not only fill the bird, but I also have to be sure to make several casserole dishes of stuffing to cook alongside it, as well. As much as we all love our stuffing, even we have our limits. After a couple hours of lingering at the table, we can’t touch another forkful of stuffing to save our souls. But, we are always happy to have leftover stuffing! Until about the fourth day of looking at bowls of stuffing in the refrigerator that need to be eaten or thrown away. Now what?
Aside from heating the stuffing up and eating it, once again, what should I do with our wealth of stuffing? I know there has to be wonderful casseroles that call for already made stuffing. I’m trying to be as creative as I can here, but I think the long Holiday hours have left me unimaginative.
There is sort of a “Holiday In A Dish” recipe that I have made which everyone likes pretty well. I just take all the ingredients of our traditional Holiday meal and turn them into a layered casserole. Not very inventive, but my family likes it. This meal is one that I actually make anytime of the year using newly made stuffing on those occasions.
If anyone has an idea, whether it’s anything from soup to casseroles to sandwiches, I’m ready to hear about them. I can’t bring myself to cook less stuffing, so there will be leftovers, once again.

Have you thought about a bowl dish similar to what KFC advertises? Or (and this is just off the top of my head) what about de-boning a whole chicken and then placing a log shaped portion of stuffing on the flat bird then rolling up the bird around the stuffing and tying to secure then bake till done. Then you could slice into servings.

I’ve always had too much stuffing left over each time and always end up throwing way too much of it away after a few days, what a waste and what a bummer.

who isn’t crazy about stuffing, what i do sometimes is mix it with rice and some sauce and it comes out pretty nice.

I guess this is the first option you have in case you have lots of left overs. Is delicious though!

This is the start of you becoming an “environment-friendly citizen”. Recycling all left overs are not only a budget saving tip, but also a way to minimize trash and yes, may also be place in fabulous food hampers to add a delightful effect.
