Thanksgiving Stuffing (Cheat! Using Stove Top=))

Recipe #46560 | 15 min | 5 min prep | add private note

Last year I used my method of making turkey/chicken stuffing and used the pre-made packaged mix. My family never knew the difference. Easy, quick with that homemade taste.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Saute onions and celery in butter.
  2. 2
    Sprinkle with Bell's seasoning.
  3. 3
    Set aside to cool slightly then toss this mixture into your favorite dry stuffing mix.
  4. 4
    Heat broth through and set aside.
  5. 5
    Read directions on your favorite stuffing mix.
  6. 6
    Add enough hot water to the broth to make up the required liquid needed.
  7. 7
    (Omit butter the recipe calls for as it was already used to saute vegetable.) Pour over stuffing/vegetables mixture and mix well.
  8. 8
    Stuff your chicken or turkey with this or serve as a side dish (after baking in a covered baking dish for 15 minutes at 325F).

Oh my goodness, that didn't taste like Stove Top at all! I love the fact that I didn't have to cut up bread the day before and let dry! I plan on using this for all our holiday meals. I did add the giblets and used my homemade chicken stock and it tasted just like my original stuffing!!! Thank you so much for sharing the shortcut with me!

    I make my stuffing the same way as this recipe, except that I also simmer the neck and giblets in seasoned water to make stock and then chop the meats from the neck and giblets into the stuffing as well Sometimes I will also add in about 1/2 lb cooked breakfast sausage. It really is a very easy and delicious stuffing.

    Yes, however Melany *, you did not necesarilly have to bake it for 5 minutes. If you like you stuffing firm, borderline dry (like the kids like it), you can just take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. That way it doesn't dry out or evaporate the spices. Just a tip. Hope that jelps you out, since I know this is also a staple for Christmas dinner as well. Tchuss!
