Marilyn Monroe Wrote Down Her Own Stuffing — So Why Did She Put Beef in It?

Marilyn Monroe wrote her own unusual stuffing recipe—with ground beef, liver, raisins, three kinds of nuts, hard-boiled eggs, and one firm instruction: “No garlic.” I trace where this mysterious combination may have come from, test whether it works, and reveal how it tastes. Using Marilyn’s handwritten notes, I explore the possible DiMaggio family connection, explain how to prepare and bake the stuffing safely, correct the turkey timing, and break down the cost and serving options. I also look at her vinegar chicken and share practical advice for handling the leftovers. 0:00 Marilyn’s mysterious stuffing 0:58 What Marilyn put in it 2:47 The DiMaggio family theory 4:15 Why no garlic? 5:53 How to bake it safely 6:53 Correcting her turkey timing 7:19 The taste-test verdict 7:54 Cost and serving advice 8:27 Marilyn’s vinegar chicken 9:35 Handling the leftovers #MarilynMonroe #VintageRecipes #ThanksgivingStuffing #FoodHistory #RecipeTest
