Can I prepare uncooked stuffing mix the day before?

[RacoonRocket]

Standard stuffing mix, will it keep uncooked in fridge?

I'm not going to be at all helpful to you because I've never made stuffing before but I would also like to know the answer because I'm prepping for tomorrow right now.

Are you making stuffing with meat?

If you mean a packet mix, I have done this before, but I mix it with cold rather than hot water.

Yes it's packet mix, so cold water eh? I was going to roll I to balls then cook them tomorrow. Not eating with meat as its a vegetarian Xmas dinner!

Yes its absolutely fine so long as its covered and refrigerated overnight. I try to prep everything possible the night before to save time on the big day and have always done this. I would however use hot water as I've found cold water doesn't soak up as well and it can stay a bit crumbly and wet as opposed to soft. Just leave it to go room temp after balling then cover and pop in fridge

Of course..but be warned..if you make it with hot water and a generous knob of butter you may be tempted to eat it raw like I do

Thanks for asking, I've been wondering this all day. Off to make mine now....!

I wouldn't bother. It is literally a 2 minute job and if you're not sure about the results I wouldnt risk it.

MrsGrindah Good point 🤣 (also I hope your name is a reference to People Just Do Nothing!)

Yes absolutely fine- it keeps much better in balls rather than as a tray bake/all in a Pyrex.

It is indeed Thoroughly!

Thanks all, Merry Christmas!

Ah veggie should be fine, I do it cold so I can mix in some sausage meat for the non vegetarians in the house, then put it in a dish in the fridge.

I make mine as normal (hot water, lump of butter) and then add it to a pan of onion, garlic and 400g chopped mushrooms that have been sauteed down. Stick it in a tray, let it cool while eating dollops of it as per previous poster and then cover and put it in the fridge overnight
