Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 celery stalks, fine dice
- 1 small onion, fine dice
- 1 10 ounce package unseasoned croutons (or 6 slices of sourdough bread cut into 1/2 inch cubes and toasted on a sheet tray for 15-20 minutes in a 400 degree oven or until totally dried out and golden.)
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups chicken stock (depending on how soft you want the stuffing)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage or poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large saucepan heat butter until melted.
- Add the onions and celery and saute over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, add the thyme, sage and salt. Saute an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- To a large bowl, add the croutons, sauteed vegetables, and chicken stock. Fluff the mixture with a fork gently (make sure not to over-stir the mixture or it will become mushy).
- Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.
- Serve.
Notes
- Adjust as needed: For a drier stuffing, use less chicken stock; for a softer one, add a little more. You can also tweak the flavor by adjusting the dried thyme and sage, or swap in poultry seasoning for the sage.
- Use boxed bread cubes: Skip the seasoning packet and use the plain bread cubes from a stuffing mix instead of croutons. It works perfectly and keeps things super simple. Just the way we like it!
