The Keck “Holiday Dressing” has been a tradition for many decades. Over time it has been modified many times. Way back it started out based on Pepperidge Farms Stuffing Mix with various additions. Chestnuts were a long running feature, then pecans replaced them. The latest version makes it into a low salt dish.
