Simple Stuffing to Feed a Crowd
I love stuffing! No... I really, really love stuffing. Not the over-complicated food and wine magazine kind, but the earthy veggie-filled one I remember from my childhood. This recipe is just that, perfect for feeding 10-12 people and made with Funkwerks Raspberry Provincial Sour Ale which gives it richness and depth with a hint of fruit flavor.
