Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Stove Top stuffing mix
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 1.5 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 pound Cooked and crumbled sausage (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or chopped apples (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish (or similar).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
If using sausage, add the cooked crumbled sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, empty the contents of the Stove Top stuffing mix box (including the seasoning packet).
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the dry stuffing mix, gently stirring to moisten evenly.
Add the sautéed onion, celery, and sausage mixture to the stuffing mix in the bowl, stirring until well incorporated.
If desired, fold in the dried cranberries or chopped apples for a touch of sweetness.
Stir in the beaten egg and fresh parsley to bind the mixture together.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the pan dressing rest for 5 minutes before serving.
