How to Make An Enjoyable Stuffing

  1. Cook 1 cup of long-grain rice according to package directions.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 stalks celery (finely chopped), 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 bell pepper (finely chopped), 1 cup shredded carrots, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Saute until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  4. Prepare 1 box (6 ounces) of chicken stuffing mix according to package directions.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sauteed vegetables, 1 large egg (lightly beaten), and the prepared stuffing mix.
  6. Gradually fold in 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth until the mixture is moist but not soggy.
  7. Spoon the stuffing mixture into a buttered 3-quart baking dish.
  8. Cover and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top.
