Cut 16 ounces of Italian bread into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl.

Chop 1 cup of carrots and 1 cup of yellow onion.

Melt 1 stick of salted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 7 minutes.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon of poultry seasoning, and pepper to taste, cooking for an additional minute.

Taste and adjust salt as needed, being cautious due to the poultry seasoning and butter.

Add the sautéed vegetables to the bowl with the bread and mix well to combine.

Pour in 2 cups of homemade chicken stock gradually, mixing until the desired texture is achieved.

Transfer the stuffing mixture to a 9x13 baking dish.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the stuffing for 30 minutes until golden brown around the edges.
