Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  
  2. Spread out cubed bread evenly on a large baking sheet (or two if needed) and bake for approximately 10 minutes until dry.   
  3. Meanwhile, in a large ziplock plastic bag, mix all the dried seasonings and shake.  
  4. When cubed bread is done, add to ziplock bag and shake to combine well.
  5. Split mixture in half and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in pantry or 6 months in the freezer. Each mixture is equivalent to 2 6 oz boxed stuffing mixes.

To Make Stuffing

  1. In a medium sauce pan, bring water and butter to a boil.  Add one container of mix (about 3 cups) and stir well. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.  Fluff with fork and serve.  Salt as needed / desired.  

Notes

  • Dried Celery Flakes:  This one can be hard to find in the store. You can of course dehydrate your own celery, but also you can do the following: 
  • Fresh Celery - Substitute 3/4 cup of minced fresh celery.  This just means that it's not shelf-stable and I would just add to the mix before cooking.  Note that the size of the fresh celery will affect how quickly it softens. It will most likely still be a bit crunchy as the stuffing is an instant style stuffing with just hot water being added. 
  • Celery Salt - Add 1 teaspoon of celery salt in place of dried celery flakes. Note that this will affect the salt level of the stuffing.
  • Not a huge fan of celery anyway?  You can absolutely omit it.
  • Make your own bread!  Here are all of our bread recipes.
  • Make your own dried onions!
