Offer your loved ones a flavorful and comforting side dish with this easy Make-Ahead Stuffing. It is delicious and goes with all kinds of incredible entrees, such as turkey and baked chicken.
Ingredients
- 2 large loaves french bread, cubed
- 1 cup butter
- 2 onions, diced
- 4 stalks celery, diced
- 1 bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- 4 cups chicken broth, or as much as needed.
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two 9×13 casserole dishes with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Line two large baking sheets with aluminum foil. Top with the cubed bread and bake for 15 minutes or until toasted, stirring often to keep from burning.
-
In a large (12 inch) skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the vegetables and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
-
In a large bowl, add the toasted bread, vegetables, and seasonings. Pour enough of the broth over the mixture to moisten.
-
Divide between the two casserole dishes and bake for 45 minutes.
To make ahead:
-
Cover tightly and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
-
For best results, thaw the casseroles overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
