Pecan Dressing
Pecan Dressing, also known as stuffing, is a classic side dish that’s perfect for Thanksgiving or any holiday meal. This savory dressing is a flavorful blend of long-grained rice, torn bread, cornbread, aromatic vegetables like onion and celery, and a rich array of seasonings including M-K Poultry Seasoning, M-K Granulated Black Pepper, and salt. The addition of finely chopped pecans provides a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor that elevates the dish.
Baking the dressing in the oven not only cooks it to perfection but also creates a golden-brown crust on top, adding both texture and visual appeal. Pecan Dressing can be served alongside turkey, chicken, or any roasted meat, making it a staple for holiday feasts and special occasions. It’s a comforting and hearty dish that brings a taste of tradition to your table.
