Upgraded Stovetop Stuffing Recipes

UPGRADED STOVETOP STUFFING

Steps:

• Add the butter to the sauce pan, than add the onions.
• Saute until slightly translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Than add the celery, about 5 minutes.
• Add all the stock. DO NOT ADD ANY WATER! We are replacing the water with stock or broth.
• Bring the liquid to a boil on a medium heat for about 2 minutes.
• Add the stuffing and the dried cranberries together.
• Turn off the stove, cover and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

STOVETOP STUFFING

Steps:

• Add dry bread cubes to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• Melt 1 stick of butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and salt, and sauté until the onions soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sage, thyme, and broth to the pan. Stir together and wait for the mixture to come to a boil.
• Carefully remove from heat and pour over the bread cubes. Toss with a large spoon until the bread is evenly saturated.
• Let the mixture sit and cool in the bowl for about 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
• Add black pepper, cayenne, parsley, rosemary, and beaten egg to the bowl and mix until evenly combined. Allow mixture to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
• Melt remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffing mixture, and pat down with a spatula. Cook until a golden brown crust forms, about 5 minutes, before turning the stuffing over, one spatula's worth at a time. Cover and cook about 5 minutes, before uncovering and tossing again. Continue cooking and tossing uncovered, until the desired amount of browning and crusting has occurred.
• Transfer to a casserole dish or serving plate.

• Toss this mixture into your favorite dry stuffing mix.
• Heat broth and set aside.
• 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.)
