Ingredients

  • 12 cups dried bread cubes (1-inch pieces, French or sourdough preferred)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 pound cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh sage, rubbed
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a large baking dish.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté mushrooms, onions, garlic, and celery until tender, about 7–10 minutes.
  3. Add broth, parsley, sage, rosemary, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer briefly to blend flavors.
  4. Place dried bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour mushroom-herb mixture over the bread and toss gently until moistened. Add a splash of warm water if needed.
  5. Spread stuffing evenly in prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake uncovered for 40–50 minutes, until top is lightly golden and crisp.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use day-old or oven-dried bread for best texture.
  • Swap chicken broth for vegetable broth to make it vegetarian.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based butter.
  • Add-ins like cooked sausage, toasted nuts, or dried fruit can enhance flavor and texture.
  • Stuffing can be assembled a day in advance and baked just before serving.
