I think I have seen this recipe before but was not tempted to try it. I
have made a stuffing casserole. It was my own recipe. There was no cream
of anything in it though.

I also think that in the old days it was a lot more common to use semi
colons. I say this because when I transferred my first novel to Word on my
computer, I kept getting indications of typos. Kept telling me that I
needed semi colons. So I put them in. Then I tried reading through it.
And realized that it looked really stupid. Novels do not read like that.
Once in a while you'll see a semi colon but it wasn't anything nearly like
what mind looked like. I wound up never changing it. Would be too much of
a PITA to go through it and remove them all. Maybe one day when I have
literally nothing better to do. Subsequent versions of Word do not do this.
