I may have asked this question before. What's the difference between stuffing and dressing?
Growing up, stuffing in our household came from inside the bird. Dressing was made with stock, the noemal stuffing ingredients, a few eggs were added so that the dressing, after being baked, could be cut into nice shaped portions like you would a cake or brownies..

Although I'm sure it's not right, we always used the two terms interchangeably.

My definition -

stuffing goes in the bird

dressing is baked in a casserole (or done on the stove top)

my mother started making stove top almost 70 years ago - she should have put it on the market - we'd be rich today - and our is so much better tasting than the boxed stuff!
