Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 2h

Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb sliced bacon
3 lbs medium red potatoes or 3 lbs yellow potatoes, scrubbed
1/4 cup bacon fat or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 celery ribs, chopped
6 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 lb rye bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes and dried overnight
1 -1 1/2 cup turkey broth or 1 -1 1/2 cup chicken broth, as needed
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Place the bacon strips in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet; bake in the upper third of the oven until crisp and browned, 10-15 minutes.
  • Some strips of bacon will cook more quickly than others, so remove them as they crisp and drain on paper towels.
  • Crumble when cool.
  • As the bacon fat renders and accumulates in the baking sheet, pour it off into a small heatproof bowl; reserve ¼ cup.
  • Place potatoes in a big pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches; bring to a boil, then add salt to taste; cook until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife, 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain, rinse under cold water, and cool until easy to handle; cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • In a big skillet, heat the reserved bacon fat or the oil over medium heat.
  • Add in the celery; cook/stir often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the scallions and caraway seed; cook/stir occasionally, until the celery is beginning to brown, about 5 more minutes.
  • Scrape the celery mixture into a big bowl; add in the bread cubes, cubed potatoes, and crumbled bacon; toss to mix.
  • Gradually stir in about 1 cup broth until the stuffing is evenly moistened but not soggy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer mixture to a lightly buttered casserole dish, drizzle with ½ cup broth, cover, and bake in a preheated 350° oven for 30 minutes.

RYE BREAD STUFFING



Rye Bread Stuffing image

The original version of this recipe comes from the Dec/Jan 1997 issue of Taste Of Home magazine. I have since added the sage flavored sausage, and will either skip the mixed nuts or add only pecans. I get wonderful compliments on this stuffing every time i serve it, and the best compliments are when i'm asked to share the recipe or bring the stuffing to the next holiday. Be sure to use 3/4 light rye to 1/4 dark rye, or substitute all light rye, so the rye doesn't overpower. In this combination the flavor is not too strong, just enough that friends and family recognize it as something extra special you've done with your dressing. We've also been successful making this recipe gluten free by using gluten free white bread, broth and the regular flavor of Jimmy Dean Sausage.

Old-World Rye Bread image

Buttermilk and mashed potatoes are two of the secrets to a delicious loaf of homemade rye bread.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Side Dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 to 2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ Better for Bread™ flour or Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Betty Crocker™ mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon caraway seed
1 package regular active or fast-acting dry yeast
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups rye flour
Cornmeal
Additional caraway seed, if desired

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the mashed potatoes (dry), brown sugar, salt, 3/4 teaspoon caraway seed and the yeast. In 1-quart saucepan, heat buttermilk, water and oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until very warm (120°F to 130°F); stir into potato mixture until blended. Stir in rye flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 8 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening or cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size. (If using fast-acting yeast, do not let rise 1 hour; cover and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.)
  • Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray; sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll dough into rope, about 3 inches thick and 25 inches long. Curl dough into coil shape; tuck ends under. Place on cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.
  • Heat oven to 400°F. Brush water over dough; sprinkle with cornmeal and additional caraway seed. Bake 23 to 28 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and bread will give your stuffing the best flavor.
  • Don't overstuff the bird: A good rule of thumb is to fill the bird no more than two-thirds full, or the stuffing will not cook properly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the stuffing is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set.
  • Serve the stuffing hot: Stuffing is best served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Potato, bacon, and rye bread stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
