My Family's Old Fashioned Bread Stuffing image

When my parent's married in 1949, my grandma Frieda gave mom her stuffing recipe. It is plain, and simple, very basic, but for 64 years we have been eating this version stuffing for Thanksgiving.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c butter (1 stick) melted
12 c white bread, toasted and cubed (about 3-1 lb loaves)
1 c finely chopped onion
3 c finely chopped celery
fresh parsley or dried parsley, to taste
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 eggs, slightly beaten
NOTE: DO NOT STUFF THE TURKEY OVERNIGHT. IF MAKING STUFFING THE DAY BEFORE, REFRIGERATE OVERNIGHT, THEN STUFF THE TURKEY IN THE MORNING. ALSO; DON'T ADD THE EGGS TO THE STUFFING UNTIL RIGHT BEFORE BAKING IT, OR STUFFING THE TURKEY.

Steps:

  • 1. Toast your bread, then slice it into bite sized cubes and put in a large mixing bowl.
  • 2. Add the seasonings to cubed bread and toss lightly.
  • 3. Add butter to a large saute pan, add onions and celery, and cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add to the bread mixture, and mix well.
  • 4. If baking right away, add egg to bread mixture, then put all of the stuffing into a 3 qt. baking dish, and cook for 1 hour, covered, until hot. (If you like crispy stuffing, remove cover for the last 15 minutes of cooking. NOTE: If baking the stuffing set your oven at 350 degrees.
