Our "tried and true" stuffing/dressing is made using Pepperidge Farm Cornbread Stuffing Mix. Using the recipe on the back of the bag as your base, which calls for butter, onion, celery and chicken broth, you can add whatever additional ingredients you like to suit your taste (we add golden raisins.) As far as the broth is concerned, I've used both Swanson's and College Inn, and I always end up adding quite a bit more than the recipe calls for because I don't like "fluffy" stuffing; I like it dense and moist.

I sautée onions, carrots, celery, Morning Star Vegetarian Sausage in Original flavor ( I defrost them and cut them into smaller pieces) in olive oil then add Chicknish Vegetarian broth and dried cranberries bring to boil add bread crumbs and cover.

Morning Star products are DELICIOUS.

My daughter is vegetarian and I only make vegetarian stuffing, it's delicious.

My absolute favorite is Pioneer Woman's stuffing. It's so delicious and I look forward to it every year. Just sub the chicken broth for veggie broth in the recipe (I like Repunzel or Better Than Bouillon No Chicken broth) I am a vegetarian and I host Thanksgiving each year so every dish but the turkey is vegetarian! Let me know if you need any other suggestions!

I second the Pioneer Woman's stuffing. When my DD wanted the "recipe" for my stuffing, which didn't exist, I found the Pioneer Woman's. It was so close to what I had always done, I just told my DD that was the recipe.

I'd like to know your definition of vegetarian.

Nuts?

Rhizo, vegetarian (not vegan) for my DD's this means eggs and butter are allowed. For a short while, one of my DD's was vegan. A nightmare!

OK I have to be the one. I can't resist a little fun.

Once stuffing is put into the bird it will no longer be vegetarian by default. I think what is being discussed is dressing. Or are we discussing stuffing bell peppers or something?

Watchme, yes that is why I put quotes around the word stuffing. Dressing could mean salad dressing!

No stuffing here, but I still call it stuffing! Dressing just sounds strange to me even if it's technically correct.

I have just rediscovered dehydrated vegetable flakes. Many of the larger brand spice companies carry them and they used to be a regularly stocked item at my market. However, they must not have been a popular item because they disappeared from the shelves some time ago and I had to go internet hunting to find them.

Long story short...I have created some fabulous side dishes with these flakes in the last few weeks once they're re-hydrated. Adding them to brown rice is one but stuffing is one of my latest success stories.

I use Pepperidge Farm seasoned dry crumbs to which I add the re-hydrated vegetable flakes, the remaining juice they've hydrated in, melted butter and chicken broth to make the mixture moist enough. Of course, if your daughter is a strict vegetarian...chicken broth and butter may be out...but you can substitute either more flavorful juice from the hydrated flakes or some other moistening agent.

I was amazed at how tasty this creation is. The seasonings mixed in with the flakes are wonderfully flavorful and the hydrated veggies themselves make the whole concoction positively delicious.. The last time I made it, I made enough to freeze serving sizes for future dinners. Experiment on your own. I don't think you can go wrong.

Here's the link to the company I ordered my product from. I post it only for further descriptive reference considering that these flakes may not be so well known.
