I'd like to make the stuffing/dressing in advance. Do I cook it then freeze, or freeze uncooked?

No problem! There is some variability depending on the recipe you're using, the quantity you're making, and the size of your pan—here's a recipe from our site that outlines a couple of scenarios (in the author note up top as well as the instructions). Hope it helps, or at least provides some inspiration! https://food52.com/recipes...

You can freeze it assembled but uncooked in a shallow baking dish. Then bake from frozen, covered with foil. Remove the foil towards the end to get those crispy edges. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It shouldn't, eRVA. Just make sure the mixture is cooled completely before freezing, then defrost it completely before reheating. If your stuffing ends up more wet or gummy than you'd like, you can always spread it out onto a baking sheet and bake it to dry it out a little.
