Perfect Homemade Stuffing

Print Recipe

Homemade Stuffing made with bread cubes mixed with onions and celery sautéed in plenty of butter, then mixed with herbs and baked until golden.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups stale bread cubes (try using French, Italian or country loaf, dried in the oven or left out overnight)
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 2 cups onion, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter (to dot on top)

Instructions

  1. Dry your bread cubes using either the oven or leave out overnight until stale.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously butter a 9×9 baking pan. (Use a larger pan if doubling.)
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the 3/4 cup butter. Add onions and celery and sauté until completely softened, about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Off the heat, stir in salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, marjoram, sage, and parsley.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and chicken broth.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes and onion/herb mixture. Pour the egg/broth mixture over and stir until the bread absorbs the liquid.
  7. Pour into the prepared pan. Cube the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and dot on top of stuffing.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes. For a crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end if desired.
