You can't have Thanksgiving without Thanksgiving Stuffing. And this is an easy and delicious way to make it! If this is the way my mom is going to bring it to the table, so will I!
INGREDIENTS
1 c. diced celery
1/2 c. diced onion
2 cans chicken broth
3/4 c. butter
DIRECTIONS
Combine broth, celery, onion, and seasoning packets in a medium sized saucepan. Heat over medium heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium low and simmer covered with lid for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter. Stir until melted.
Pour dried bread crumbs into a large bowl. Pour broth mixture over bread crumbs, stirring to moisten all crumbs. If necessary add more broth or water to make a soft stuffing but not soggy.
Place stuffing in a buttered 9x13 dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Cover top with foil if stuffing is drying out or browning too much.
Crockpot: You may put stuffing in a buttered crockpot on low for 3-4 hours.
Optional: Some people like to add cooked crumbled sausage to the stuffing before baking. Serve with cranberry sauce.
