Hello Mary,

This recipe has the ingredients that you list: Italian Stuffing

I cannot find a stuffing recipe that says it is "solid and cuts with a knife," nor can I find a Vermont stuffing recipe that fits.

I'll post this for reader input.

I wrote a while back about an old Italian recipe for stuffing. You gave me a link but it had 
no amounts. After 3 tries I nailed it, in a small amount. Tastes just like grandma used to make. 
Generously grease bread pan. Preheat oven 325°. Whisk together 1/2 cup plus 1 TBL PECORINO 
Romano cheese, 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/8 tsp garlic powder. 
Break up any large clumps. Add 2 beaten large eggs..mix well. Mixture needs to be moist but 
dry enough to form a slightly raised hamburger size mound in your hands. Too wet? 
Add breadcrumbs 1TBL at a time. Cover with foil. Bake center rack oven about 25minutes until 
internal temp reached 165°. Do not overbake. Remove from oven and let sit in pan 10 - 15 minutes. 
Slice as desired. Yum!
