Best Really Easy Bread Stuffing Recipes

BASIC BREAD STUFFING

Basic Bread Stuffing image

This was my Mom's staple recipe every Thanksgiving for stuffing....Sometimes she would add some chopped giblets to it, but usually she made it exactly like this...It's VERY simple and basic, but very home-made and very comforting!!! She hand-wrote this recipe for me many years ago the first time I tried to cook a Thanksgiving meal at my house. :)

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

12 cups dry bread cubes
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
3 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sage
1 cup melted real butter (not margarine)
1/2-1 cup hot chicken broth or 1/2-1 cup turkey broth, to moisten

Steps:

Combine bread, onion, celery and all seasonings. Add melted butter. Toss gently to mix. Then add hot broth to moisten to desired consistency (but be careful NOT to make it soggy; a little dry is best since it will retain juices from cooking inside the turkey).
Stuff into the cavity of the turkey before roasting, if desired.
OR: Pour all into a large casserole and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, not letting the top get too crispy.
NOTE: Allow 1 cup stuffing for each pound of poultry.

8 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 lb firm white bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and dried overnight (or in the oven)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2-2 cups turkey broth or 1 1/2-2 cups chicken broth, as needed

Steps:

In a big skillet, melt the butter over medium heat; add in onions, celery, and celery leaves.
Cook, stirring often, until the onions are golden, about 8 minutes.

Gradually stir in about 1 ½ cups of broth, until the stuffing is evenly moistened but not soggy.
Transfer stuffing to a lightly buttered casserole dish; drizzle with ½ cup broth, cover, and bake in a preheated 350° oven for 30-45 minutes (if you like crusty stuffing, remove foil the last 15 minutes of baking).

This is a recipe that I have used for years, but with my own little tweaks added to it. Loved by all every time we make it. We usually double this recipe.
