Ingredients

1 cup; white grape juice or apple juice

3/4 cup; Madeira or port wine

1/2 cup; sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)

1 box (12 oz.) of Mrs. Cubbison's Traditional Seasoned Stuffing

3/4 cup; chopped onion

  2. Place the grape or apple juice, wine, and sun-dried tomatoes in a medium-sized saucepan, and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to sit for about 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and tender. Drain off and reserve the liquid, allowing it to cool. Finely chop the tomatoes.

  4. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared casserole dish and cover. Bake on middle rack of preheated 325°F oven for 30 to 40 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. If a crisp top is desired, uncover the dish and bake for 10 additional minutes.
