Get it right before the big feast.

Honestly for me, it’s simply a matter of how it’s cooked. If it’s “stuffed” in the bird, it’s stuffing. If it’s in a dish on the side, it’s dressing. But I do reserve that stuffing can be pulled out and served on the side. And you can also eat stuffing without ever “stuffing” it. Stove Top Cornbread Stuffing is my weakness and I use it as a quick and easy side often with a protein. Or when making crab cakes.

    Dressing is the stuff that’s going to get stuffed into the cavity of whatever animal so really there is no difference.

    I could go with that as well.

    It may also be a regional thing as I never hear anyone call it dressing where I’m from.

    I’m from Louisiana originally and dressing is really common there. Didn’t really even hear stuffing all that often that I can remember.
