Ingredients

  • 1 large French bread loaf 1 pound worth.
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 5 stalks celery chopped
  • 3 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth see notes

Instructions

  • Cut French bread loaf into 1” cubes, then set on a baking sheet to dry out overnight. Alteranativey, if you don't want to do this, you can cube the bread, place on baking sheet, and bake in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes (may need more time) or until they are lightly golden.
  • In a dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and celery and cook until soft, about 6-8 minutes. Season with poultry seasoning, sage, salt, and pepper. 
  • Stir in the dried-out cubed bread until evenly coated. 
  • SLOWLY stir in the broth while mixing the stuffing so that the bread doesn’t become too wet or soggy. Mix well. 
  • Place in a buttered casserole dish 13x9”. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to bake. Mine usually chills for 4-6 hours (because I like to make it in the morning).
  • Bake uncovered at 350°F for 30-40 minutes. The top of the stuffing should be golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm. 

Notes

You can use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth. 
If you like moist stuffing, bake covered for 15 minutes, and then remove foil and bake uncovered for the last 20-25 minutes.
