Ingredients for Amazing Bread Stuffing

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • Onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 cups cubed bread (day-old is best)
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • Poultry Seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Pepper

How to Make Amazing Bread Stuffing

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 celery stalks, chopped. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of dried sage, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Stir in 8 cups of cubed bread (day-old is best), 1/2 cup of chicken broth, and 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently until the bread is evenly moistened.
  6. Transfer the stuffing to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with foil.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
