Homemade Stove Top Stuffing is easier to make than you think!
Homemade Stove Top Stuffing is a simple recipe that will bring a level of freshness to your holiday table.
We use fresh bread, mushrooms, onions, and celery in this recipe.
I feel like we don’t eat stuffing enough. We really like it but is doesn’t seem to come up when I am planning our weekly menu.
Perhaps we like it so much because it is a dish we serve for our big holiday meals.
So I have a confession to make – we usually make the store bought stove top stuffing for our holiday meals.
I mean, it tastes pretty good! But this year I wanted to make a homemade version.
My goal was to create a recipe that was close to the kind we get in the box.
I wanted to make my recipe before the holiday. You know, you have to try it before you serve it to other people, right?!
I knew it must have onion, celery and poultry seasoning, and some type of broth.
I made this with chicken broth, but you can buy turkey broth around the holidays so I will make it with that when I make it for our holiday dinner.
So it will probably be just three of us for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Normally we travel out of town or have out of town guests.
Those poor folks will probably have to wait until next year to try my new stuffing recipe.
This year we are going to have Thanksgiving dinner together via video call. Not ideal but necessary.
I have seen Homemade Stove Top Stuffing recipes such as this made in a large skillet but I prefer to make it in a Dutch oven or large pot.
