I just want to make sure I have the measurements correct for the stuffing mix. Measure 7 oz if using Herb Seasoned Stuffing Mix but use 4 cups when using Cornbread Stuffing Mix?

A 7 oz package of either herb-seasoned or cornbread stuffing mix is the same as 4 cups. We give you both in case you have a larger package, you can measure it. Thank you and enjoy!
