When it’s time to make stuffing, whether it’s for Thanksgiving or any other meal, you have a decision to make. Do you make homemade stuffing or go for the shortcut and buy Stove Top? It comes down to the ease of making something right out of a box versus the satisfaction of making the perfect side dish from scratch.

Why Stove Top
Stove Top can usually be purchased by the box or canister, depending on how many servings you need. There are also a few flavors to explore, including classic herb, chicken, and cornbread. All you need is either a saucepan or a microwave as well as a few basic ingredients like water and butter.
The stuffing is done in minutes and is easy to make. You can’t mess it up, which means you can also delegate the task to someone else in the kitchen while you focus on another element of dinner.
Why Homemade
Homemade stuffing gives you the ability to choose each and every ingredient. You can cube the bread of your choosing, dice an array of vegetables, infuse any herbs you wish, and even add in some broth. You can get a rich flavor that is your very own.
When people say that they love the stuffing, you get to take full credit for it, too.
Making the Final Decision
It all comes down to what you have time for and what your skill level is. If you have the time and skill to make homemade, go for it. Otherwise, Stove Top is perfectly acceptable, which is why it’s so popular.
You may also want to look at the nutritional elements. Stove Top may be higher in sodium. You’ll have full control over everything when you make it homemade, which may be better if you have people who are gluten-free or have other dietary requirements.
No matter what you choose, it’s sure to be delicious.
