Stove Top Easy Stuffing Bake

The Story

Introduced shortly after General Mills food scientist Ruth Siems invented the quick-hydrating bread crumb, this recipe became a staple of 1970s back-of-the-box marketing. It was designed to transition stuffing from a once-a-year holiday side dish to a year-round main course component. The recipe famously utilized the box's seasoning packet to flavor the chicken and vegetables simultaneously.
