Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz store-bought stuffing mix
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2.5 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic, dried sage, and dried thyme to the skillet, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spices are aromatic.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix, sautéed vegetable mixture, and chicken (or vegetable) broth. Stir well to evenly distribute moisture.
Add the beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the stuffing mixture is fully moistened but not overly soupy. If needed, add an extra splash of broth.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove the stuffing from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your super moist, flavor-packed stuffing!
