Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons butter plus more for the dish
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 2 boxes (6 oz) stuffing mix cornbread or chicken flavor
  • 2½ cups chicken broth plus more as needed

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for 6–8 minutes, until soft.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix, the sautéed vegetables with their butter, and the broth.
  4. Stir gently until evenly moistened, adding a little more broth if any dry spots remain. Spoon loosely into the baking dish.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 minutes more, until golden on top.

Notes

  • Add browned sausage or a diced apple for more flavor.
  • Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
  • For a softer stuffing, keep it covered for the full baking time.
