Stuffing for Christmas or Thanksgiving
By: Cathy17
Dec 21, 2003
This is similar to my mom's recipe that she has made for years. She never measures and adds everything for our taste preferences. I have never been able to top her stuffing, but this comes very close. I don't measure the herbs. We like the sage flavor, so I tend to add more of that. I taste it until it tastes right to me. Adjust the herbs to whatever your taste preferences are. Your kitchen will smell wonderful as the herbs are cooking with the vegetables! If you like drier stuffing, adjust the amount of chicken broth. We like ours moist, so I use about 2 cans of swanson chicken broth. I always make several days ahead and freeze in ziploc bags with all the air squeezed out so that I'm not so rushed the day of the dinner.
SERVES 8
Ingredients
- 10 cups crusty country bread, 1 inch cubes (1 lb) or 2 packages pepperidge farm seasoned stuffing mix (I use this. Don't use Stovetop stuffing mix!)
- 3 medium onions, chopped
- 3 celery ribs, thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried sage or fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary or fresh rosemary
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups chicken broth
Directions
1
If you're using bread, toast bread in a large shallow baking pan in middle of oven until just dry, 25 to 30 minutes.2
If you're using stuffing mix, you can skip this step.3
Cook onions, celery, and herbs in butter in a large heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until celery is softened, about 10 minutes.4
Stir together bread or stuffing mix, vegetables, broth, and salt and pepper to taste, then cool completely, uncovered.5
Freezes extremely well.6
Stuff in the turkey or bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

GREAT GREAT GREAT! I used the pepperidge farm 16 oz bag and followed the recipe exactly except I added dried cranberries and raisins. This is a great stuffing and will be used often. Thanks so much Cathy for posting!

After years of Thanksgiving dinners, I've never had compliments on my stuffing until this year...My family loved this recipe! I used stuffing bread dried in oven. I did use extra broth as I like moist stuffing. Also added canned mushrooms. Yumm...Definitely a keeper.

Cathy, this is the recipe I have been using for about 20 years. My family loves it! The only thing we have done is to sometimes add button mushrooms which we sauté with the onions and celery. Have also added water chestnuts but I like it just the regular "ole" way.I use low-sodium, low-fat organice chicken broth. Thank you for posting such a great and easy recipe, Diane :=)

I am newly married, and my husband and I decided to host thanksgiving for his entire family this year. This recipe was so easy, for us, who had never made stuffing before. Everyone loved it, even the "picky one," our 14 year old neice, who never seems to like anything. Thanks so much!! I wouldn't change a thing!!
