The Best Boxed Stuffing Mix, According to Our Taste Test

By Sam Stone

Boxed stuffing may not taste exactly like homemade stuffing, but when Thanksgiving prep starts to feel chaotic, a good mix is a shortcut worth taking. The best boxed stuffing should have the hallmarks of a great homemade version: a soft, fluffy interior, a crisp, bronzed top, and plenty of buttery, savory flavor. Stove Top Savory Herbs was our favorite overall, Stove Top Traditional Sage was the herbiest, and Pepperidge Farm Herb-Seasoned Classic Stuffing had the freshest flavor and texture.
