Homemade Stove Top Stuffing

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.
