My Grandma’s Best Stuffing Recipe Over 60 Years Old
Ingredients:
– 1 loaf of day-old white bread, cubed
– 1 cup of celery, diced
– 1 cup of onion, diced
– 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1 tablespoon of fresh sage, chopped
– 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, chopped
– 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the diced celery and onion, and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread with the sautéed celery and onion mixture. Mix gently to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, chicken or vegetable broth, fresh sage, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the bread mixture in the bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold and mix everything until the bread cubes are evenly coated with the egg mixture.
6. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
7. Bake the stuffing in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
8. Once done, remove the stuffing from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
9. Garnish with additional fresh herbs before serving, if desired. This delicious stuffing pairs beautifully with turkey, roast chicken, or as a side dish for any meal.
