Stuffed goose in the oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. As you can see, the classic oven-stuffed goose is probably called classic for a reason—there's nothing extra, just strict simplicity, and even spices aren't recommended. By the way, if you'd like to simplify the recipe even further, I should mention that I personally liked the version with apples but without potatoes even more. So it's up to you—buy a bigger bird and start cooking, since now you know. Serve hot.
