Old Fashioned Thanksgiving Dressing

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf dried bread 1 pound, cubed (½ to 1 inch), I use white bread
  • 1½ cups celery diced small
  • 1½ cups yellow onion diced small
  • ⅔ cup butter 11 tablespoons
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • 1½ to 2½ cups chicken broth

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add the dried bread cubes to a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Add the celery and the onion and cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the poultry seasoning, salt and the pepper until well blended.
  • Pour the sautéed onion and celery mixture over the bread crumbs, toss to coat. Drizzle in the chicken broth until bread is moistened, but not soggy.
  • Spread evenly in the baking dish, cover and bake for 35 minutes, remove foil and bake another 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes

Dry bread: Use bread that’s dried out so the dressing soaks up the broth without turning mushy.
Add broth slowly: Add the broth a little at a time until the bread is moist but not soggy.
Make ahead: Put it together up to 1 day ahead, then cover and refrigerate. Add a few minutes to the covered bake time.
Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
