Stuffing or Dressing?

Is if Stuffing or Dressing?

There is much confusion about this breaded side dish that is a staple of holiday menus.

If they both have the same ingredients, then what's diffference?

The difference in the name is only a matter of where is cooked.

Put simply, stuffing goes in the bird, dressing goes beside it.

The recipe being shared today is an easy and delicious comfort food.

(we are going to cook it dressing style)
