This is a recipe for stuffing that is cooked in the oven. It combines the goodness of potatoes, celery, onion, and a little bit of sage in a thick gravy that will have your mouth watering in no time.
The flavors meld into this savory dish with the help of herbs and spices like thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
This has been my go-to side dish from Thanksgiving to Christmas dinner, for over 10 years now! It’s also great when served cold on sandwiches or as breakfast muffins.
Because it’s made with bread, you can make it gluten-free by using gluten-free bread, or try the whole wheat version (recipe below).
I like to use homemade bread for this recipe, just slice your favorite loaf into cubes, toss it in the oven to dry out for an hour or two. Then I cube it up and let this recipe do the rest.
Stuffing, if you’re unsure of what that is Well then let me tell you. stouffer’s stove top stuffing is basically stuffing. It’s the stuffing inside of your turkey.
It’s the stuff chicken salad is made of. And it’s the stuff that is sandwiched inside your turkey. And it’s the stuffing all wrapped up between your dinner roll when it gets to be Christmas time.
The good thing is, stuffing can be made ahead of time, so you don’t have to spend all day making dinner when you can make this for a rainy day or any family get together.
It also makes great leftovers for breakfast, or brunch or even sandwiches later on in the week.This is a very easy recipe if you are looking for a delicious and fast stuffing that you can make in minutes.
