This is a family favorite. My Nana Bebe made it and now all of the girls in my family do too. The chestnuts give a slightly sweet, piquant flavor to a traditional stuffing. Yum!

Time 1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup chestnuts
¾ cup butter
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
8 cups slightly dry bread cubes
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Cut an "X" into the bottom of each chestnut using a sharp knife, trying not to pierce through the skin. Arrange chestnuts on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, about 15 minutes. Cool chestnuts until easily handled. Shell and peel chestnuts and break into small pieces. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir celery and onion until onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add chestnuts, salt, poultry seasoning, and black pepper; stir until evenly mixed.
  • Put bread cubes in a large bowl. Mix chestnut mixture into bread cubes. Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl; drizzle over bread cube mixture and toss to coat. Transfer mixture to a baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 30 to 45 minutes.
