"I made this for Christmas dinner and it was very well received. I made a 20 rib roast and I did double the stuffing, because our family loves stuffing. I had a decent amount left over. I also added..." See more pine nuts(instead of chestnuts) and apples to the stuffing. It was great!! I took about 3.5 hours to cook and the house smelled great!. Thanks for the recipe."
