Delicious Wild Rice Stuffing Recipe for Thanksgiving

Ingredients

• 1 cup hot water
• 3 cubes chicken bouillon, crumbled
• 1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice, such as Ben's Original
• 1.25 cups cold water, or as needed to cover
• 1 cube chicken bouillon
• 1 cup hot water
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 0.5 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1 (5.5 ounce) package seasoned croutons
• 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning

Instructions

1. To cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, dissolve 3 crumbled bouillon cubes in hot water. Add wild rice and 1 1/4 cups cold water (or enough to cover the rice); bring to a boil.
2. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a baking dish generously.
4. To prepare the stuffing: Dissolve a bouillon cube in 1 cup of hot water to create broth; set aside.
5. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add celery and green pepper; cook until tender, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the reserved broth, then transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Incorporate cooked rice, croutons, and poultry seasoning; transfer to the prepared baking dish.
6. Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
