The bottom element in my oven shorted out and I can't get it fixed till the end of the month. Do you think I could make the dressing up, put in corningware dish, microwave for a little and then put it under the broiler to brown it? Would it turn the dressing into a hard brick?

There is a lot of food that does quite well in the micowave. However, follow cooking directions closely including standing time. Most people make the mistake of overcooking micowave food. Also, find a dressing that will do well in the microwave, overcooked bread will turn rubbery, but as I said that is from overcooking.
I roast whole turkeys in the microwave. And since it is poultry, which does BETTER in the micro than in a conventional oven, it stays moist. If it is not as brown as you would like, yes, place it under the broiler for just a FEW minutes. It browns very nicely.
So do some web searches on microwave cooking and recipes. Learn how to cook in the micowave and you will find an invaluable new tool in the kitchen. Foods that typically DON'T do well in the microwave are cakes and the like, meat that needs to be slow cooked, like many cuts of beef and pork.
Or better yet, take a micro wave cooking class. A good many appliance stores offer them, which I took advantage of when I first bought a microwave in the 80ties.
Good luck.
Peace.
If used PROPERLY, foil can be used in a microwave. BUT PLEASE, learn how to use it, if you see ANY sparking, shut the oven down immediately. DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN PROPER INSTRUCTION.

I make stove top dressing in the microwave all the time. It has the directions on the package. It is also very easy and taste good. I cook alot but have not been able to make a good tasting homemade dressing and love stove top so I give up and that is all I'm going to use now. I used to make it on the stove, but I usually don't have enough burners left for that and that is how I discovered the microwave method.

I'm from Michigan and this might take a while for you to make but Pastys (past-eeys) might be an answer. Back in the copper mining days, women would make these crusty "pot pie" like portable pies. They are filled with either beef or venison and a variety of veggies. Rutabagas are key in these...although a certain few call them Rooter tooters. I'm sure you can guess what they cause. Anyway, Pastys were given to the miners pre cooked and when it was lunch time, they could either eat them cold, or place them on their shovel and warm them up over a fire. I'm sure there aren't too many fires on the construction site but you could easily make these before hand and this would definitely fill him up.

Every time I put bread in my microwave, it gets chewy. I suppose if you don't cook it very long, it will work.

Go buy yourself a electric roaster..they are cheap and you can get them anywhere..walmart,, k-mart, fleetfarm. you can cook your turkey and stuffing in that..and when your turkey is done resting on the counter..you can cook your other stuff in there too!.
