The Ultimate Homemade Stuffing Recipe

Ingredients

• 30 slices white bread, lightly toasted
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
• 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Arrange bread slices on baking sheets and let them sit at room temperature until they become hard and dry, approximately 24 hours.
2. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
3. Use a rolling pin to crush the toasted bread into coarse crumbs. Transfer the bread crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
4. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery; cook until they soften, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and drain any excess liquid.
5. Pour broth and beaten eggs into the bowl of bread crumbs, stirring until the mixture is evenly moist but not soggy. Add a little water if needed to achieve the desired consistency. Gently fold in the cooked onion and celery mixture, along with sage, and garlic powder. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Press the prepared stuffing mixture evenly into the greased baking dish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and delightfully crisp, about 1 hour.
