There is nothing quite like making a delicious meal from scratch. Homemade stuffing is an easy dish to make, and it will impress your family and friends.
Cut the bread into cubes and spread into a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly toasted.
Set aside to cool.
COOK VEGGIES:
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add onion and celery and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute.
Add seasonings and stir to combine.
MIX STUFFING:
In a very large bowl, add bread cubes and pour vegetable mixture over top
Stir to combine.
Gradually add chicken broth until bread is moist but not soggy. You may not need all of the broth, or you may need a little more depending on your bread.
Beat eggs in a small bowl and mix them into the stuffing.
BAKE STUFFING:
Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray.
Transfer stuffing to prepared baking dish.
Cover with foil.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for 10-15 minutes or until stuffing is golden brown on top.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Bread: You can use any bread you like. I used a combination of a crusty white loaf and brown bread.
Drying bread: The cooking process of drying out the bread can be done the night before you are going to make the stuffing. Bake the bread cubes in the oven, then leave them on the counter to dry out overnight.
