Description
Grandma’s Thanksgiving Stuffing is a classic, savory bread-based side dish perfect for your holiday meal. This recipe is easy for beginners and delivers delicious, aromatic results.
Ingredients
- 10 cups cubed bread (sourdough or French)
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 2 cups celery, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 4 cups low-sodium broth (chicken or vegetable)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cube the bread and let it dry overnight or toast lightly. Chop the onion, celery, and herbs.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery. Cook until tender, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put bread cubes in a large bowl. Add the sautéed vegetables and herbs. Season with more salt and pepper. Stir in warm broth until the mixture is moistened.
- Transfer stuffing to a greased baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
- Let stuffing cool slightly before serving with turkey or other holiday dishes.
Notes
- For drier bread cubes, you can toast them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
- Adjust the amount of broth to your preference; add more for a moister stuffing, less for a drier one.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like diced carrots or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
