THE BEST STUFFING RECIPE



The Best Stuffing Recipe image

An Old Fashioned Bread Stuffing is a classic recipe for stuffing made with bread cubes, sauteed onions, celery, and butter.

Provided by Kristen Chidsey

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter (plus more for greasing pan)
1 large onion (diced)
3 celery stalks (chopped)
3 sprigs fresh thyme leaves (stems discarded)
1 pound bread (cubed)
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and arrange it onto a baking sheet. Allow the bread to dry out for 3-12 hours.
  • Grease an 8x8 or 2-quart baking dish with butter. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt 1/4 cup (or 1/2 stick) butter in a large heavy-bottomed skillet, over medium-low heat.
  • Add onions, celery, and fresh thyme leaves to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute veggies until softened slightly, about 7 minutes.
  • Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add in the sauteed veggies and another pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well.
  • Add in the chicken stock, 1 cup at a time, and toss until bread cubes are moistened completely. You want the bread to be wet and softened, but not drenched in liquid or soggy. You may not use all the liquid.
  • Pour the prepared stuffing into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes covered. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden.

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter plus more for baking dish
1 pound good-quality day-old white bread, torn into 1" pieces (about 10 cups)
2½ cups chopped yellow onions
1½ cups ¼" slices celery
½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth, divided
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. (Note: Dressing can be made one day ahead up to this point. Uncover the dressing, let cool, then cover again and chill. The next day, proceed with the final bake as described below.)
  • Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).

MY MOMS BEST PA DUTCH STUFFING



My Moms Best PA Dutch Stuffing image

This has been our stuffing for at least 75 years ! Moist with a crispy crust perfect for GRAVY!

Provided by judy eckman

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 c cubed bread
4 eggs beaten
3 celery ribs chopped
2 large onions chopped
1/2 stick butter
2 Tbsp parsley chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sage, dried
1 tsp savory dried
1 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. In large bowl place the bread cubes. I use 1 loaf of white bread & cube it myself but bought bread cubes are fine. I just like to do it myself!
  • 2. In another large glass bowl place onion, celery & butter. Cover & microwave 3 minutes on high. Stir & recover, cook 3 more minutes or until celery is soft.Dump this into your bread cubes & stir. Add seasonings & stir again.
  • 3. Beat eggs & beat in the milk, you might not need a whole cup of milk it really depends on your bread. So start with just 1/2 a cup beaten in with the eggs. If bread needs more moisture slowly add more milk right into your stuffing mixture, you want very moist wet bread but NOT SOUP see picture. So start with all the eggs & 1/2 of the milk add this to your bread & stir until combined. You may add pepper to taste but i do not care for pepper so I leave it out. Now you may stuff your poultry & roast according to the birds package direction. Or grease a 9x13 pan , pat stuffing into the pan & bake uncovered 1 hour at 350 degrees.
