This is the stuffing my mom and her mom before her always used, and I continue to make it every year, it is so yummy! I usually tear up or cube my bread a few days in advance, but on occasion have dried it out in the oven. To do this, spread torn or cubed up bread in shallow pans and place in the oven on the lowest setting, with the door cracked and stir occasionally until bread is dried out. I will also sometimes add some chopped cooked bacon to this and have also used dried cranberries instead of the raisins.
