Herb Seasoned Stuffing Recipe| Classic Thanksgiving Side Dish

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while adding flavor.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Homemade broth can be lower in sodium.

bread cubes

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Stale bread can be used to reduce waste.

Start by chopping 1 cup each of celery and onion into small pieces.

Melt 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped celery and onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5-8 minutes.

Once the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent, turn the heat up and add 2 cups of chicken stock to the skillet.

Bring the chicken stock to a simmer to heat it through, then turn off the heat.

In a large bowl, pour in the bag of Pepperidge Farm herb seasoned stuffing mix.

Add the sautéed vegetables and chicken stock mixture to the bowl with the stuffing mix.

Season with a little salt to taste, if using unsalted broth.

Mix everything together until well combined and the stuffing is moist but not overly wet.

Pour the stuffing mixture into a greased baking dish, ensuring it is light and fluffy, not packed down.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 30-35 minutes until heated through and the top is crispy.
