Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 14 ounces (1 bag) seasoned stuffing mix
- 4 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
Aromatic Vegetables:
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup celery, chopped
Fat/Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup butter
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F, ensuring an even temperature for consistent cooking.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, creating a rich base for the aromatic vegetables.
- Sauté chopped celery and onions until they soften and release their fragrant essence, approximately 5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
- Pour chicken broth into the vegetable mixture, bringing it to a gentle boil, then immediately remove from heat to preserve flavors.
- Gently fold the seasoned stuffing mix into the broth-vegetable blend, ensuring all breadcrumbs are evenly coated and moistened.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture into a well-greased baking dish, spreading it evenly to promote uniform heating.
- Cover the dish to trap moisture and prevent the stuffing from drying out during baking.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the stuffing is thoroughly heated and develops a slight golden crust on top.
Notes
- Elevate moisture by using day-old bread, which absorbs liquid better and prevents soggy texture.
- Customize flavor profiles by adding fresh herbs like sage, thyme, or rosemary for deeper aromatic complexity.
- Create vegetarian-friendly version by substituting chicken broth with vegetable broth and ensuring vegetarian bread cubes.
- Prevent dryness by covering the dish during baking and checking moisture levels halfway through cooking process.
