Semi Homemade Stuffing Recipes

SEMI-HOMEMADE THANKSGIVING STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Add the sausage to a large skillet over medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned, then remove the sausage from the skillet.
• Add the onion, celery, and garlic to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened, then remove from heat.
• Remove the seasoning pack from the stuffing mix, then add the stuffing croutons, sausage, cooked veggies, herbs, salt, egg, and stock to an 8x8 inch pan or other 3-quart baking dish and mix it all together. Press the stuffing into an even layer in the pan, then drizzle the top with butter.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top of the stuffing is browned and crisp. Let cool slightly, then enjoy.

THANKSGIVING STUFFING (CHEAT! USING STOVE TOP)

• Set aside to cool slightly.
• Toss this mixture into your favorite dry stuffing mix.

• Read directions on your favorite stuffing mix box.
• Add enough hot water to the broth to make up the required liquid needed.
• (Omit butter the recipe calls for as it was already used to saute vegetables.)

SEMI-HOMEMADE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, yellow onion, celery, green onion, and pear. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Place the stuffing mix into a large mixing bowl; stir in the vegetable mixture, parsley, and chicken broth. Stir until the chicken broth has been absorbed by the stuffing mix; spoon into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

THREE-BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Cut the breads into 1-inch cubes and spread them out onto baking sheets. Leave out overnight to get stale. (Alternately, bake them in a 300 degree F oven for 30 minutes to dry them out).
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter. When it is melted add the onions, celery, and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool a bit.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.
• Put the bread cubes into a large bowl with the cornbread stuffing and add the cooled vegetables. In a medium bowl, whisk together the broth, gravy, eggs, and poultry seasoning. Pour over the bread and mix; the mixture should be fairly moist but not wet. If it seems to dry, add some more broth. Fill the baking dish with the stuffing and top with the Parmesan. Bake until the top is browned and the stuffing is cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.
