HOMEMADE HERB BREAD STUFFING/DRESSING RECIPE



Homemade Herb Bread Stuffing/Dressing Recipe image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 17

Bell's Seasoning Copycat:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons Bell's seasoning, or the copycat seasonings below
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
4 large eggs, beaten
5 to 6 cups turkey or chicken stock, more or less
About 10 cups crumbled, dried breads (or 2 (14 ounce) packages herb seasoned stuffing mix like Pepperidge Farm)
4-1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
4 teaspoon dried oregano
3-3/4 teaspoon dried sage
3-1/2 teaspoon ground dried ginger
3 teaspoon dried marjoram
2-3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray a 9 x 13 inch glass baking pan; set aside. In a pot or tall sided skillet, saute the onion and celery in the butter until soft but not browned. Stir in the pepper, Bell's seasoning, and poultry seasoning. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Place the breads or stuffing mix in a large bowl, add the veggie mixture, stir and pour two cups of the broth all over. Mix well. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Add the beaten eggs and mix well. This is where you fix the consistency, adding more broth as needed. If you want a fluffy stuffing like that above, you'll use less broth. If you prefer a wetter stuffing, add additional broth as needed to reach desired consistency. Remember that the dressing will puff up while cooking. Lightly spoon it into the casserole dish, but do not pack! Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until heated through. For a moister stuffing, baked covered. For a drier stuffing with a crunchy top, bake uncovered.

"SIMPLE IS BEST" DRESSING



Leave the sausage, nuts, dried fruit behind in favor of this easy, vegetarian-friendly stuffing recipe with country bread and Thanksgiving-classic herbs.

Provided by Victoria Granof

Categories     Thanksgiving     Bon Appétit     Side     Stuffing/Dressing     Herb     Onion     Bake     Celery     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Vegetarian

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter plus more for baking dish
1 pound good-quality day-old white bread, torn into 1" pieces (about 10 cups)
2½ cups chopped yellow onions
1½ cups ¼" slices celery
½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth, divided
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. (Note: Dressing can be made one day ahead up to this point. Uncover the dressing, let cool, then cover again and chill. The next day, proceed with the final bake as described below.)
  • Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you can, grow your own herbs or buy them from a farmers market.
  • Don't overstuff the dressing. The dressing should be light and fluffy, so don't pack it too tightly into the bird.
  • Bake the dressing separately from the bird. This will help to prevent the dressing from getting too dry.
  • Let the dressing rest before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the dressing warm or at room temperature. Cold dressing is not as flavorful.

Conclusion:

Homemade herb bread stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it savory, sweet, or somewhere in between, there's a herb bread stuffing recipe out there for you.
