Simple Holiday Stuffing - Cook's Country

This recipe for simple holiday stuffing begins by drying bread cubes in the oven so they better absorb flavor. Onions, celery and poultry seasoning are browned in butter before mixing into the dried bread which has been tossed with chicken broth. The stuffing bakes with butter drizzled on top, taking 30-35 minutes to become crisp and golden brown. Making it ahead allows refrigerating the stuffed baking dish, covered, for up to 24 hours before microwaving the butter and continuing baking as directed.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

Browned butter added deep, satisfying flavor to this simple


stuffing. Instead of browning (and risking burning) the bread
cubes, we put them in a low oven until they were just dried out.
Once dried, the bread absorbed the broth and the other flavors of
the stuffing. Poultry seasoning provided a quick path to well-
seasoned, savory stuffing.
