Mushroom – Tarragon Dressing

Jessica Fisher · November 30, 2012 · 1 Comment

Forget the boxed dressing! It’s easy to make your own.

A plate of Stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravyThis Thanksgiving I decided to bust out of the box and make everything from scratch. I’ve slowly been making this transition over the years. But, I have always relied on Mrs. Cubbison’s boxed stuffing mix.

This year I broke with tradition and made my own dressing. Dressing is a funny thing. Some folks love it moist, others prefer it crispy. This one pleased both camps because the baguette held up well without getting mushy. My dad was thrilled with the tarragon flavor. It pleased practically everyone.

I loved the extra flavor that the marsala gave to it. Marsala and mushrooms are such a lovely combination! And the convenience of having a cooking wine, like Holland House Marsala in the spice cupboard makes it so easy to add a dash of this or a dash of that.

You’ll be amazed that homemade dressing/stuffing is so easy!

    Yumm… that sounds great!! Thanks for the recipe.

    I always make 2 different dressings/stuffings for our families Thanksgiving. I make southern cornbread dressing for me & mine and a bread based out of the box stove top thats been doctored up for the yankees. 😉 I made homemade a couple times but the youngest of adult kids were not very happy since they grew up on the boxed stuff.. (gag) so I relented. We should all get to have what we love on Thanksgiving, in my opinion.

    I have some of the Holland House products in my kitchen. I dont use them often since I use regular wines but I have them on hand in case I dont have the other. It works for me.
