Looking for a delicious vegetarian stuffing to serve for Thanksgiving? This one is for you!
Not too long ago, we asked the community to share their favorite holiday recipes, the ones that are tried and true. WOT reader Rachelle Cervera shared her family’s recipe for this Spinach Stuffing, which we can now confirm, is absolutely delicious! The combination of mushrooms and spinach makes this dish colorful and flavorful.
WOT we love about this recipe: It is a perfect vegetarian substitute for traditional stuffing.
This recipe can easily be doubled if you have more than six people at your dinner, or if you have a crowd that really loves their stuffing.
