Yield 10 cups

1 lb sliced bacon
3 lbs medium red potatoes or 3 lbs yellow potatoes, scrubbed

Steps:

  • Place the bacon strips in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet; bake in the upper third of the oven until crisp and browned, 10-15 minutes.

  • As the bacon fat renders and accumulates in the baking sheet, pour it off into a small heatproof bowl; reserve ¼ cup.
  • Place potatoes in a big pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches; bring to a boil, then add salt to taste; cook until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife, 15-20 minutes.

  • In a big skillet, heat the reserved bacon fat or the oil over medium heat.
  • Add in the celery; cook/stir often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the scallions and caraway seed; cook/stir occasionally, until the celery is beginning to brown, about 5 more minutes.
  • Scrape the celery mixture into a big bowl; add in the bread cubes, cubed potatoes, and crumbled bacon; toss to mix.
  • Gradually stir in about 1 cup broth until the stuffing is evenly moistened but not soggy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer mixture to a lightly buttered casserole dish, drizzle with ½ cup broth, cover, and bake in a preheated 350° oven for 30 minutes.

RYE BREAD STUFFING



Rye Bread Stuffing image

The original version of this recipe comes from the Dec/Jan 1997 issue of Taste Of Home magazine. I have since added the sage flavored sausage, and will either skip the mixed nuts or add only pecans. I get wonderful compliments on this stuffing every time i serve it, and the best compliments are when i'm asked to share the recipe or bring the stuffing to the next holiday. Be sure to use 3/4 light rye to 1/4 dark rye, or substitute all light rye, so the rye doesn't overpower. In this combination the flavor is not too strong, just enough that friends and family recognize it as something extra special you've done with your dressing. We've also been successful making this recipe gluten free by using gluten free white bread, broth and the regular flavor of Jimmy Dean Sausage.

BACON, ONION AND RUSSIAN RYE BREAD STUFFING



BACON, ONION AND RUSSIAN RYE BREAD STUFFING image

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 9-inch-long loaf Russian rye bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large sweet onion, such as Vidalia, halved and thinly sliced
1 celery rib, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 teaspoon chopped sage
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/2 pound piece of slab bacon, sliced 1/2 inch thick and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 1/2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
1 egg
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toast the rye bread cubes for about 15 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until lightly golden and dry. Transfer the bread to a large bowl. 2. In a skillet, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery; cook over moderate heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the sage and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Scrape into the bowl with the bread. 3. Wipe out the skillet. Add the bacon and cook over moderate heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the bowl with the bread. In a medium bowl, whisk the chicken broth with the egg. Pour over the bread mixture and add the kosher salt and pepper. Toss until the bread soaks up the liquid. Scrape into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. 4. Bake the stuffing for about 30 minutes, until hot throughout. Remove the foil and bake for about 30 minutes longer, until the top is lightly golden. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of breads for a more flavorful stuffing. Rye bread, sourdough, and French bread are all good choices.
  • Toast the bread cubes before adding them to the stuffing. This will help them absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Sauté the vegetables and bacon before adding them to the stuffing. This will help them release their flavors and aromas.
  • Use a flavorful broth to moisten the stuffing. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth are all good choices.
  • Season the stuffing to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
  • Bake the stuffing at a high temperature until it is golden brown and crispy on top.

Conclusion:

Bacon, onion, and rye bread stuffing is a classic side dish that is perfect for any holiday meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect stuffing that will be the star of your holiday table.
