This homemade stove top stuffing combines dried bread cubes, butter, celery, onion, mushrooms, and poultry seasoning for a comforting holiday side dish. Once the bread is dried, everything comes together in one pot on the stove. Serve it with turkey, chicken, or ham for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Sunday dinner.
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Cut the bread into ½-inch cubes.
Arrange the bread cubes on one large or two small rimmed baking sheets in a single layer. Bake for 10–15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden and dry.
10 cups bread
Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, mushrooms, and celery until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 more minutes.
½ cup butter, 1 cup white onion, 1 cup mushrooms, 1 cup celery
Stir in the poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, and broth. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until the broth is hot but not boiling, stirring to combine.
1 - 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, 1 ½ cups chicken or turkey broth
Add the bread cubes and toss gently, taking care not to crush them. Cover the pot, remove from the heat, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Notes
I use regular store bought white bread.
