Homemade stuffing

I like my stuffing to have a little *kick*, so I add extra onions and celery. You can back down if it’s a bit much for you.

I typically purchase my dried bread cubes. Much easier. For extra chicken-y flavor, I use Maggi Chicken Base in the place of salt.

Add bread cubes, eggs, celery, onion, melted butter, and spices to large bowl and mix. Eggs help to bind and give a glossy texture.

Melt stock cubes with water and butter. This should be about a full 2 cups liquid. Add chicken base to hot liquid and stir.

Add liquid to bread cube mix and stir well.

Should have a relatively moist consistency (but everyone likes their stuffing different!) I like to use these disposable half pans, particularly when I’m cooking in advance for entertaining. They fit perfectly in a chafing dish.

Cover with foil and bake at 325 until cooked through. About 45 minutes.

Here, I added cooked turkey, recovered, and baked until heated through. I made the turkey in my Instant Pot and it turned out amazing!

And served with cream chicken gravy.
