I have seen someone mentioning that they use stuffing mix in Bolognes sauce?
I would love to try this!!
I already use grated carrot and lentils to bulk out bolognes, and i want to make a HUGE vat of sauce for the freezer!!:D

I have never used it in spag bol, but I always bulk out cottage/shepherds pie with it.

Well stuffing is basically bread crumbs and dried onions (plus un-needed additives) so you could put those in it yourself, but I think bread is the wrong (cheap) bulker to use. I would rather add lentils which will do the same job, taste nicer and be healthier!
Don't forget the more you add that is not as per a normal recipe the more it becomes a pasta sauce with a bit of meat.

What about a packet of the dried stuffing mix?
I have packets upon packets of it.... ( I love stuffing, so do the children)
Has anyone ever tried just adding a packet of it in?

I add stuffing mix when making chicken casserole in slow cooker, not too much as it can be overpowering,

This is quite a nice Mary Berry recipe using packet stuffing mix

Saturday Chicken (4 people)

4 leg portions chicken skinned
2 rounded tablespoons of lemon & thyme stuffing mix
1 large clove of garlic (crushed)
1 tin tomatoes
1 chicken stock cube
1/4 pint red wine
1 tablespoon of seedless jam
salt & pepper

Mix everything together and pour over chicken portions and cook in oven at 180C for about 1 hour in a covered casserole dish.

I have also done this in slow cooker. I have also used sage & onion stuffing mix.
