INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE AT BOTTOM)

White bread cubes
Unsalted butter
Celery
Onion
Garlic
Dried parsley flakes
Kosher salt
Ground sage
Pepper
Dried thyme
Poultry seasoning
Dried rosemary
Eggs
Unsalted chicken stock
Fresh chopped parsley

HOW TO MAKE EASY STUFFING, STEP BY STEP:

Let the bread cubes sit out overnight if you have time. If not, bake them in a single layer on sheet trays at 200°F for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 11×7 baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the 1 cup of the butter. Add the celery and onion, and cook, until softened and the onion is translucent, occasionally stirring for 10 minutes.
Add the garlic, parsley, salt, sage, pepper, thyme, poultry seasoning, and rosemary. Mix them in and cook for 1 minute, take off the heat.
Mix the eggs and 2 cups of stock together well in a bowl.
Add the bread cubes and vegetable mixture to a large bowl, and stir to combine.
Add the egg and stock mixture, stir to combine. Let it sit for 10 minutes so the bread can absorb the liquid. It should be very moist but not wet, if it seems too dry to you, add another cup of stock.
Pour the stuffing into the prepared baking dish. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and drizzle it on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy on top. Place a sheet tray under the baking dish to catch any drips.
Let cool for 10 minutes and serve with fresh chopped parsley for optional garnish.

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT SIZE BAKING DISH?

I used an 11×7-inch baking dish, however, if you want to trade it out, you can use a 9×13-inch one.

When you swap to this size dish, you’ll have a thinner layer of stuffing that has a crispier topping compared to the 11×7-inch one.

CAN I TRADE OUT THE SPICES AND HERBS?

You can add in whatever spices and herbs you prefer in your homemade stuffing recipe.

I think this recipe would be great if you added Italian seasoning, Herbs de Provence, tarragon, and marjoram to the spices that are already in there.

I used dried herbs and spices out of convenience. But you can certainly use fresh instead. If you do that, double the amount of fresh.

CAN I ADD MEAT?

If I want to add protein to my Easy Stuffing Recipe, I like to add a pound of sausage, either breakfast or Italian sausage will work for this.

First I brown the sausage in a skillet and add ¾ cup of butter instead of the full cup. Then continue with the recipe instructions as stated.

If adding the sausage, I like to use a 9×13-inch baking dish since it makes more you will be wanting a slightly larger pan.

HOW TO STORE:

For best results, keep leftovers at room temperature where they will keep for up to 5 days.

This can also be frozen, place in a freezer safe container and it will keep for up to 3 months.

To defrost, remove from the freezer into the refrigerator until defrosted. Leftovers can be reheated in their dish covered in foil, and in the oven until warmed thoroughly. Or you can microwave until they reach the desired temp.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

If you want to add sausage, you can, see my tips above.
You can use fresh herbs and spices if desired, just double the amount of fresh compared to dried.
This dish freezes well, see above on how to do that.
I used 3 cups of stock, but if you like a drier type of stuffing, use just 2 cups.
I prefer to use an 11×7-inch dish to make this in, but you can use a different one if desired.
If I double this recipe for more servings, sometimes I’ll make it in a second pan or just make a super thick version and be sure to check it for doneness.
