7. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy alongside your Thanksgiving turkey!
