This sounds really tasty and so easy. I think I need to make this now because with all the Thanksgiving talk, I've been dreaming about stuffing. I think it would be great with some cranberry sauce on the side, too. Thanks, Roxanne!

Shouldn't this be titled Broccoli stuffing instead of stuffed broccoli? I mean, your not actually stuffing the broccoli?

This is an interesting thread. When I lived in MA, I people called any dish that had bread crumbs or stuffing in it "stuffed". But, apparently that isn't the case everywhere. There are other areas of the country where it's only called stuffed if stuffing is inserted into something else. Here in Texas, it seems that you have to put the stuffing into something else to call it stuffed. What's it called in your neck of the woods, Spice people

Down here in the South, we call it stuffing if it goes into a thing. But I have seen many recipes where they call it stuffing if it is baked around it. I saw an awesome “Stuffed Scallops” recipe not too long ago that just mixed the stuffing/dressing with the scallops (not inside the scallop, but around them) and baked it. So, I’d say it is definitely a geographical thing depends on what you grew-up hearing.

I don’t care what it’s called as long as I get to eat! LOL!
