Classic Stuffing
My homemade Classic Stuffing recipe is a family favorite and so easy to make at home! This bread stuffing uses onions, peppers, and fresh herbs to add flavor. It can be stuffed into a turkey or cooked in a baking dish.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 loaves white sandwich bread (preferably stale) or your favorite bread for stuffing
- 1 cup olive oil or butter
- 2 medium onions finely chopped
- 4 bell peppers any color, chopped
- 3/4 cup pine nuts
- 1 1/2 tablespoon chicken base powder*
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons fresh sage chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs whisked (optional)
Instructions
- If possible, chop the bread into cubes the night before and place in a large container covered with plastic food wrap.
- Preheat oven to 350F and brush a 9x13 baking dish with oil or nonstick spray.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions and peppers. Saute until they are nice and soft and then add the pine nuts. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes, stirring often.
- Sprinkle the veggies with the chicken base powder and pepper and remove from heat. Add the cubed bread, chicken broth and fresh herbs. Toss to ensure the mixture is well mixed. Taste and add salt to taste. If you are using eggs, add them in and then transfer the mixture to the baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for about 35 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for 15 minutes or until it is a nice golden color and cooked through.
Notes
*Note: If you don't have chicken base powder, you can use a chicken bouillon cube. Just add it to the onions and peppers when they are sautéing so that it can break down.
