Old Fashioned Stuffing

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 1/2 cup salted butter, 1 medium white onion (diced), and 1 1/2 cups sliced celeryCook for 57 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened, stirring frequently.

Stir in 2 cups chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon saltand 1/4 teaspoon black pepperBring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat.

Cube 1 pound French bread. If your bread is not dry and stale, it's a good idea to toast your bread before using it to make stuffing. Transfer the cubed bread to a large mixing bowl.

Toss the cubed bread with 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage, 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemaryand 1 tablespoon minced fresh thymeSlowly pour the hot broth mixture over the bread and herbs, stirring gently to moisten all the bread.

Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top of the stuffing is golden brown. Serve hot.
