Stuffing is a holiday staple, but it also works great all year round. If you’re serving chicken, fish, or vegetables, stuffing works great as a side dish. Check out our go-to recipe below.

Vossen Herb Stuffing 😊 My uncooked stuffing was prettier than the cooked shot so keep in mind this photo is pre-baked. Also keep in mind my measurements may have been a tad off in my video last week…like way too much butter 🤦🏻‍♀️ so follow the recipe I have below. You can buy unseasoned breadcrumbs for this or I cubed and dried my own using brioche buns and I will definitely do that again! (You can find brioche buns at @costco this year.) This recipe makes one large 9×13 pan of stuffing. 12-14 c unseasoned breadcrumbs 1 tart apple, peeled and diced 1 sweet onion, diced 5 stalks celery, diced 8-10 Tbls butter, melted 1/3 c freshly chopped herbs (combination of rosemary, sage, thyme) 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1/2 c dried cranberry or golden raisins 1 1/2 – 3 c chicken stock In a large sauté pan melt butter and add onion, celery, salt & pepper and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and add herbs, apple & craisins. Place breadcrumbs in a large bowl and add butter mixture and toss to combine. Pour chicken stock in a little at a time to make sure all everything is coated but not sitting in a pool of liquid. I think 3 will be about right but it depends on how dry your breadcrumbs are so start with less and add as needed. Pour stuffing into a 9×13 pan. This part can be made the day before and baked on Thanksgiving Day. Bake @ 350 for 2 hours. Half the time covered in tin foil and the other half with the tin foil removed. Stuffing is done when it is crisp and brown on the outside but when you push down with your finger still has some give. (Meaning the bottom half is still soft.) #thanksgivingdinner #thanksgivingweek #stuffing #herbstuffing #thanks #mealprep #thanksgivingprep #feedfeed #feedingmyfamily #themostwonderfultimeoftheyear #homemade #thehomemadedish

Have I talked my stuffing to death yet 🥳 . Crispy, herby, soft, crunchy, fragrant, filling, alllll in one bite 🌿 . I wont make you all read the recipe again but one thing I had forgotten to add: Add a little bit of butter on the top right before hitting the oven so it gets extra crispy 🔥 . This pic is after the first layer was taken, and the dish was popped back into the oven for a re-toasting, but it shows the two layers better! . Other pro tip: you can never have enough leeks or crispy sage 🥖 . See you again in a year, my love 🖤 . . . . . . . . . . #yummy #homemade #cooking #tryabita #foodporn #foodie #nomnom #instafood  #delicious #foodblogger #homecooking #onthetable #foodshare #fromscratch  #foodlover #foodstagram #hungry #photooftheday  #myplate #eeeeeats #organiceating #eattheworld #eatprettythings #homemadeisbest #stuffing #veggiestuffing #eatyourgreens #herbstuffing #thanksgivingleftovers #holidayrecipes
