BONNIE'S SAVORY STUFFING CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 inch glass square baking dish with Pam kitchen spray.
• 2. Place the leftover stuffing in the baking dish. Combine all of the ingredients and pour over the stuffing, smoothing the cheese evenly over the top.
• 3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until brown and set. Don't overcook or overbrown. If you test it with a toothpick and the toothpick is almost clean, then it is set. Here is how it looks!
• 4. Let stand about 5 minutes before cutting. Cut into 9 squares and serve. Enjoy!
• 5. Cook's Tip: Save yourself some time! By making your stuffing the day before, it will take only minutes to create this delicious dish to go with your meal.

BONNIE'S SAVORY SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• To make things go faster, prep the breads the night before. Cut the Glutino English Muffins into one inch cubes, and put them on a flat pan in a 300 degree oven. Slowly dry and toast the bread until it is a lovely golden brown. Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl. Do the same with the corn bread. I bake the bread cubes in separate pans because the corn bread browns faster than the English muffins.
• Chop the vegetables and apples. This can all be done the day before.
• Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet. Break apart the Jimmy Dean's sausage with a fork, and add the seasonings and cook it about five minutes.
• Add the vegetables and apples to the sausage and continue cooking until the sausage is cooked through.
• Pour the meat mixture on top of the toasted breads in the mixing bowl.
• Mix butter into the 2 ½ cups of broth and stir to blend and pour over everything in the mixing bowl. Gently mix to combine with a spatula. It will look a little wet, that is okay. Just make sure the bread is covered.
• Pour into a 9 X 13 greased baking dish. Cover with foil and Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove foil to brown top, about 10 more minutes. Enjoy!
• Yummy!

GRANDMOM JACOBS' SAVORY STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment and drizzle over the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toast for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Make sure to watch them so they don't burn. Remove the cubes and switch the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Saute until softened, about 8 minutes. Remove the vegetables to a large bowl.
• Add the toasted bread and saltines to the vegetables. Add the stock slowly, tossing gently, until the bread is moist but not too soggy; you may not use all of your stock. Place in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish and bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes until golden brown.

BONNIE'S CLASSIC COUNTRY STUFFING

Steps:

• Butter a 9 or 10 inch, deep glass baking dish. This recipe may be doubled for a crowd. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• I toasted the bread in a toaster. You can use the oven if you wish, but the toaster is faster. Tear the toasted bread into pieces, not too large or too small. i add a mixture of homemade, toasted and soft bread. Your choice. You will need 8 cups. Place the bread in a large mixing bowl. Use any kind of bread, or cornbread, too. (You can also add giblets or cooked sausage. Just keeps the amounts in the basic recipe the same.)
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and add the celery, onions, sale and pepper, and cook until almost tender. Then add the garlic and cook a couple of minutes more. Now add the spices and cook another minute, just long enough to release the flavors into the vegetables. Add half of the stock to the skillet, mix well and pour over the bread in the mixing bowl. Mix gently to combine.
• Add the two beaten eggs to the remaining chicken broth. Whisk until smooth, and pour over the mixture, toss to incorporate the liquid with the bread.
• Pour the mixture into the buttered dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until brown and set. Let stand 5 minutes covered before serving.
• This is how it looks! Enjoy!

BONNIE'S YUM YUM CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350. Layer in a buttered 2 quart Pyrex baking dish. 3 cups of cooked dressing and 2 cups of chunky chopped cooked chicken breast.
• 2. Stir together the celery soup, 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup Marsala wine. Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken and stuffing.
• 3. Add the slices of Swiss cheese to cover the mixture, tearing the slices to make them fit if necessary.
• 4. TOPPING: Heat a large skillet over medium high heat with 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, add 1 cup of Japanese style panko bread crumbs. Stir the bread crumbs constantly until they are coated with butter then they will start to turn a nice golden brown. Watch that they don't burn. Pour the bread crumbs evenly over the top of the cheese in the casserole, and bake in the oven until the casserole is heated through. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes.
• 5. I serve this dish with cranberry sauce and a nice green salad. Enjoy!
