    Stuffing Recipes:

    I’ll be honest, as a kid I hated stuffing.  I just didn’t appreciate it or I found it to be a pile of mush. 

    But whatever it was, I wouldn’t touch it.  Over time my palate of course changed and I learned what flavors I liked and what I loved. 

    Thanksgiving Stuffing is now my favorite and I will make it year round, because well… I can!

    This Easy Stuffing Recipe really is easy.  With a few add-ins you have transformed a traditional box of Stove Top into a mouthwatering treat.  Really!  Give it a try and you won’t regret it. 

    The hint of sweet and the savory with the texture of Pecans make this Stuffing Recipe a family favorite for sure.  

    Stuffing Recipe in Instant Pot

    Instant Pot Directions

    I have traditionally made this recipe for Stuffing on the stove.  And it whips up quick and easy for sure.  I've included Stove Top Directions in the recipe card below.

    However with my new found love of the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker II have learned ways to simplify my life an this is one of them.  

    There is no argument that cooking stuffing on the stove is simple.  However, when I make large meals for family and friends I’m always short a burner or two.

    The Instant Pot allows me to set it and forget it.  No watching the pot for boiling water, no stirring, just set it and forget it and the 1 minute pressure cook time is super fast and perfect for my last minute cooking frenzy

      This recipe was very, very tasty and easy to make. I had my oven going with the turkey breast tenderloins, my Bravo smart oven going with the sweet potato casserole and the Instant Pot with the stuffing, stress free day of cooking. Hubby gave this dressing an A+, he loved the crunch of the celery and pecans.
