69% less fat • 93% less sat fat • 36% fewer calories than the original recipe—see the comparison. You won't feel "stuffed" this Thanksgiving! A change from butter to a smaller amount of oil cuts 2/3 of the total fat, and using whole-grain bread adds 3g of fiber per serving. Start a new tradition. From eatbetteramerica.

Yum!
Stuffing is my fav, and this didn't disappoint! I think i may have cooked it a little too long because it was a bit dry, but i'd definitely make it again and just cook it a little less.

question
Looks good. Can this stuffing be prepared in a crockpot? Has anyone made it ahead?
