Stove Top stuffing

Homemade Stove-Top Style Stuffing 🍞🧅

This recipe recreates the classic boxed stuffing flavor similar to Stove Top stuffing, but made fresh at home.

Ingredients

• 4 cups dry bread cubes
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Sauté vegetables
   Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and celery and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft.
2. Add broth and seasoning
   Pour in the chicken broth, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
3. Add bread cubes
   Stir in the dry bread cubes until they absorb the broth.
4. Cover and rest
   Turn off heat, cover the pot, and let it sit 5 minutes so the bread softens and flavors blend.
5. Fluff and serve
   Fluff with a fork and serve warm.

Optional add-ins

• Cooked sausage
• Mushrooms
• Cranberries
• Fresh parsley

✅ Tip: Slightly stale bread works best because it absorbs broth without getting mushy.
