The Best Stuffing Ever

I have been having a bad craving for stuffing. I am a big fan of Stove Top, but they don’t have it here in Germany. So, I thought I would be adventurous and try and make my grandma’s recipe for homemade stuffing (with a few variations of my own). The fact that this whole “stuffing endeavor” corresponds with Thanksgiving is merely a coincidence. I am really pleased with the results, and must once again reiterate… Seriously, this is the best stuffing ever!

The Best Stuffing Ever Recipe:

¼ cup butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 stalks celery, chopped, depending on taste
4 cups unseasoned, dry bread cubes
1 Tablespoon dried Parsley
1-2 teaspoons Poultry seasoning, depending on taste
½ teaspoon Sage
Dash salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 ¼ cup chicken broth

• Preheat oven to 325 F (or 165 C).
• Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery, cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
• In large bowl, combine bread cubes, parsley, poultry seasoning, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add broth and onion mixture. Stir gently until moisture is absorbed.
• Reduce oven heat to 225 F (or 100 C). Transfer stuffing to baking dish and cook for 30-60 minutes stirring occasionally. Add a little bit of water while stirring if necessary.

Serve with chicken (we had Chicken Kiev tonight, but that is another recipe) and enjoy!
