A few examples of other meats that are commonly packed include pork chops, meatloaf, meatballs, chicken breast, lamb chops, and beef tenderloin.

Stuffing isn't limited to the butcher block... Vegetables make excellent containers for stuffing. Peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, and cabbage are just a few of the shapely vegetables that make stuffing a hit in your meals.
