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.

  • 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.

OLD FASHIONED BREAD STUFFING RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Old Fashioned Bread Stuffing Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-174535

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chopped celery, about 2 stalks
1/2 cup chopped onion, about 1 medium
1/2 cup chopped carrot, about 1 medium
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley, optional
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 cups dried white bread cubes*
1 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large skillet cook celery, onion, and carrot in hot butter over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in parsley (if desired), poultry seasoning, and pepper. In a very large bowl combine celery and onion mixture with bread cubes. Drizzle with enough broth to moisten, tossing lightly to combine. Place stuffing in a 2-quart casserole. Bake, covered, for 30 to 45 minutes or until heated through. *TIP: To make dry bread cubes, preheat oven to 300°F. Cut 12 to 14 slices white bread into 1/2-inch cubes to yield 8 cups. Spread into two 15x10x1-inch baking pans; bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until dry, stirring twice; cool. (Cubes will continue to dry and crisp as they cool.) Or let bread cubes stand, loosely covered, at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours. Slow Cooker Directions: Prepare as directed, doubling the amounts of all ingredients, except use 1-1/3 cups chicken broth. Omit the 2-quart casserole and lightly coat a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon stuffing into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. (Stuffing gets very moist as it cooks.) Make-Ahead Directions: Prepare as directed through Step 2, except do not preheat oven. Cover casserole tightly with plastic wrap; chill for up to 24 hours. To serve, preheat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap. If desired, drizzle stuffing with an additional 1/4 cup chicken broth to moisten. Bake, covered, for 40 to 45 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of stuffing registers 165°F.

Categories     Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup margarine
5 celery ribs with leaves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
½ to 1 teaspoon crushed dried sage
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • Meanwhile, place bread slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast on both sides, about 10 minutes per side (or you can use the toaster). Break bread into bite-size pieces. Mix in vegetable mixture and parsley. (At this point, stuffing can be made one day ahead, placed in a self-sealing container, and refrigerated.)
  • In a medium saucepan, heat broth to a simmer. Place dressing mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add hot broth and stir until bread is evenly moistened, starting with 2½ cups broth and adding additional broth to reach desired consistency. Transfer mixture to a shallow baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.
