Does anyone know of any vegan stuffing brands? I'm kind of hoping to find something along the lines of instant stuffing to avoid having to do too much cooking this Thanksgiving (lol), but any good recipes would be appreciated as well.<br><br><br><br>
P.S. Is there anybody who knows the ingredients of Stove Top stuffing? This is my first vegan Thanksgiving, so I'm still trying to figure things out.

It's super easy to make stuffing yourself. I'm sure you could make it the day before and keep in the fridge until you put it in the oven.<br><br><br><br>
I made some the other day, and don't know if this is the type of thing you're looking for, but basically I sauteed some onion and garlic in olive oil, added half a chopped apple and a bit of marg, and cooked for a little bit, then added herbs (thyme, sage, oregano) salt and pepper and about two teaspoons of powdered veggie stock. Then I added my breadcrumbs (which was about half a large loaf of wholewheat bread) and enough water to combine into a moist 'stuffing' consistency. Then I just baked in the oven in an oiled loaf tin for 20 mins or so. It took about ten minutes (including making the breadcrumbs) and was very tasty!

Here's a recipe to make your own stove top stuffing mix: <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/47162" target="_blank">http://www.recipezaar.com/47162</a><br><br><br><br>
To make it vegan, all you have to do is use vegetable broth instead of water and chicken boullion. It looks really easy.

Oh, and this brand of stuffing mix appears to be vegan (as long as you're not too icked out by the picture of the big dead turkey on the box): <a href="http://www.mrscubbisons.com/dressing/seasoned.htm" target="_blank">http://www.mrscubbisons.com/dressing/seasoned.htm</a>

If you have old corn bread, vegetable broth, onions and sage, youve got it licked pretty much. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

I've had this. It's good, and one of your cheaper options for packaged stuff (usually $2.50 around the holidays). Still, with all of the effort you have to go through even to make the packaged types, I think you're just as well off making it from scratch. Feels better that way, too!

I've actually never made stuffing from a mix.

If you have a Super target in your area, their brand of stuffing is vegan and good. I made it last year.

Actually I had never HEARD of cornbread stuffing until maybe 5 years ago.

I'm a huge fan of "making it from scratch" however I also know how insane some households get around the Holidays. If a person wants to make something "instant" don't assume that "from scratch" is the only way to go.

Yeah, I think Northern US stuffing uses regular bread, and southern dressing uses cornbread. I could be wrong. I know it's regional somehow.

All the Stove Top ones have chicken broth. My mom got a Kroger brand one last year that was really good tho...it even had cranberries. Yum! Also, according to Veganwolf.com Arnold Premium Stuffing's vegan.

I've lived in the South all my life,and didn't know there was any<br><br>
stuffing (we called it dressing) other than the cornbread kind until a<br><br>
few years ago. This will be the first year to try and veganize my mother's<br><br>
recipe for cornbread dressing .It was pretty simple;she just crumbled<br><br>
up corn bread made ONLY with Aunt Jemimah's self rising white cornmeal<br><br>
and topped it with a ton of celery and onion she'd minced and boiled<br><br>
ahead of time.Next,she would top the mixture with six slices of day old white bread,then top each slice with one<br><br>
egg and lots of salt and pepper.Then she'd squish this up and add enough<br><br>
chicken broth to make it the consistency of cake batter,and bake till set.<br><br>
It was absolutely divine. I'll just have to make a few substitutions,and<br><br>
I think it'll be OK.If it comes out nicely,I'll post the recipe.

I was wondering the same thing myself so I emailed Uncle Bens and asked. They confirmed that their Uncle Bens Stuff N Such Country Style with Vegetables and their Traditional Sage with Rice and Vegetables do not contain any animal by products.

Meatless Stove Top Stufing

I know that Thanksgiving has passed for this year but maybe someone will see this next year.

First, if someone asks for info on instant stuffing, don't give them a recipe for homemade stuffing!

Now, here's what I found believe it or not: Stove Top Stuffing does make a vegan flavor and weirdly enough, it's the PORK one! It does have some weird preservatives and stuff though, but it's definitely yummy and does the trick in a pinch!
