Any easy, delicious stuffing/dressing recipes?

It's my first time making the stuffing this year for thanksgiving (since my mother-in-law passed, bless her soul) and I really have no idea how. Can anyone give me some easy recipes on how to make stuffing? Thanks and hope you all have a great thanksgiving!Any easy, delicious stuffing/dressing recipes?
I always use stove top but I add something extra to it Here's what kraft suggests:





Take 1 pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken and mix %26amp; match your recipe from these options...





LIQUID OPTIONS


orange juice


chicken broth


apple juice


beef broth





VEGETABLE / FRUIT OPTIONS





dried cranberries


chopped green or red apples


shredded carrots


chopped mushrooms


cooked chopped potatoes





ADD-IN POSSIBILITIES


PLANTERS Chopped Pecans, toasted


chopped fresh parsley


raisins


OSCAR MAYER Real Bacon Bits








PREPARE stuffing mix as directed on package, substituting 1-1/2 cups liquid for the water and stirring in 1/3 cup vegetables/fruits and 2 Tbsp. add-ins along with the liquid. Cover; let stand 5 min.


FLUFF with fork before serving. Any easy, delicious stuffing/dressing recipes?
I understand where are coming from. This is a very basic one. It was my grandmothers recipe passed down to my dad, then passed on to me. Dad used to ';forget'; how to make it every year and call my grandma and ask her how to do it. I really miss that.





Anyway here it is.





Bread cubed up. Usually around 1/2-1 loaf loaf. You can use what ever kind of bread you like or have on hand. We usually use a mix of white and wheat but sometimes add sour dough.





2-3 tbsp melted Butter


1/2-1 onion chopped


1-2 stalks celery chopped


salt and pepper


ground sage-the sage is the real key to good stuffing/dressing


milk





Mix everything but the milk. Toss to coat well then slowly add a splash of milk at a time. You want it inbetween moist and dry. It's kind of hard to explain but even if you get to much milk it will still taste okay, the texture will be a bit off.





You can also add corn, bacon, sausage, cranberries, chopped nuts etc....
I'll give you a tip, now is not the time to learn homemade, you can practice with recipes all next year. After all, you don't want T-day to be a flop! This is how I do stuffing for everyday meals.





Get a box of Stove Top. Saute a minced red onion, minced shallot, minced celery, and an 8 oz. pkg. of sliced baby bella mushrooms in about 6 Tbsp. butter while boiling water for the Stove Top according to the directions. Towards the end of sauteeing, add some minced garlic. Toss the Stove Top in the water with all the veggies. Mince up some fresh sage, about 8 leaves, depends on how much you love sage, and stir that in at the end.





Good luck, and happy Thanksgiving to you too!
