Using oven mitts or pot holders, carefully take away the baking dish in the oven and take away the aluminum foil. Be cautious of steam!
Using oven mitts or pot holders, return the baking dish towards the oven and then bake until surface of stuffing is golden brown and slightly crispy, about twenty minutes longer.
Using oven mitts or pot holders, take away the baking dish in the oven and serve.
