Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 boxes Stove Top stuffing mix
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 3 stalks Celery stalks, diced
- 3 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cups Dried cranberries (optional)
- 0.5 cups Slivered almonds or chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.
Add the diced onion and celery to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Slowly stir in the chicken or vegetable broth, and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Empty both boxes of Stove Top stuffing mix into a large mixing bowl.
Pour the hot broth mixture over the stuffing mix and toss lightly to combine. Let sit for 3-4 minutes, allowing the stuffing to absorb the liquid.
Add the chopped parsley, dried cranberries, and nuts (if using). Gently fold everything together with a spoon or spatula until well combined.
Transfer the stuffing to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish for a slightly crisp top layer, or serve directly from the mixing bowl for a softer texture.
If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the stuffing uncovered for 10 minutes for a golden, crisp top.
Serve warm as a side dish for your Thanksgiving meal.
