Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 - 1 c finely chopped onion
1 c butter
1 c peeled and chopped celery
1/2 c chopped fresh parsley
1/2 Tbsp dried sage
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
12 c dried bread cubes
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 can(s) chicken broth; 14 oz; more if needed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • 2. Saute onions in butter in large skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • 3. Stir in celery, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • 4. Add bread cubes to onion mixture; toss thoroughly to coat.
  • 5. Mix together the egg and 3/4 cup of the broth.
  • 6. Add to stuffing to moisten. If stuffing is too dry to stick together add a small additional amount of broth, but do not over moisten.
  • 7. Shape stuffing into 24 small balls (about 1 and 1/2" diameter). If you prefer, you can make the balls a little larger. Place the balls in one layer on a greased baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees, for 20 minutes.
  • 8. Pour remaining broth over the balls (use a little more broth to just moisten balls if needed).
  • 9. Bake, uncovered, an additional 15 minutes, or until balls are the dry/moist level you desire.
