Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | Butter |
| 1 | Onion |
| 2 | Celery ribs |
| 2 | Carrots |
| 1 | Herb-seasoned stuffing cubes |
| 2 | Parsley |
| 1/4 | Dried thyme |
| 1/2 | Ground sage |
| 1/2 | Chicken broth |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
-
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and celery, and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
-
Add diced carrots to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, ensuring all the vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
Transfer the cooked vegetable mixture to a large mixing bowl.
-
To the bowl, add the herb-seasoned stuffing cubes, crumbled corn muffins, chopped parsley, dried thyme, and ground sage. Toss the ingredients together until well combined. Set aside 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
-
Pour the remaining chicken broth over the stuffing mixture and gently toss until the bread cubes are evenly moistened.
-
Moisten the stuffing with the reserved 1/2 cup of chicken broth, ensuring it reaches the desired level of moistness. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased, shallow baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Dot the top of the stuffing with small pieces of butter for added richness.
-
Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the stuffing to cook through.
-
After 30-35 minutes, remove the foil cover and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top of the stuffing is golden brown and slightly crispy.
-
Once baked to perfection, remove the stuffing from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving alongside your favorite Thanksgiving dishes. Enjoy the savory and sweet flavors of this delightful stuffing with your loved ones!
