Notes
A Note For Liver Lovers!
Remember that chicken we used to make the broth? Well, that is a good thing. Here is a delicious option. My mama shredded some of the dressing and added it to the stuffing after the broth. She also cooked the liver and crumbled it in. Guess what?! I do too! FANTASTIC!
