Oh gosh, I can't tolerate that ''stovetop variety mess." The recipe I
was given called for this particular ''cornbread stuffing" and as
directed I added onions, celery, low-sodium chicken broth, etc. I
just didn't care for the taste all that much but mainly the doughy
consistency. Followed the directions of how to bake it, but this will
not be a recipe I'll be making again with P. F. cornbread stuffing
mix.
