Moist & Savory Stuffing

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS

1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)

2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)

1 large onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)

2.5 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth or Swanson® Certified Organic Chicken Broth

1 package (14 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Herb Seasoned Stuffing

Directions

Heat the oven to 350°F.

Heat the butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook for 5 minutes or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.

Add the broth to the saucepan and heat to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the stuffing and mix lightly. Season to taste. Spoon the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13x2-inch baking dish. Cover the baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the stuffing mixture is hot.

Notes

You can also use a 3-quart casserole for this recipe.

For crunchier stuffing, bake the stuffing uncovered.

For Cranberry & Pecan Stuffing, stir 1/2 cup each dried cranberries and chopped pecans into the stuffing mixture before baking.

For Sausage & Mushroom Stuffing, add 1 cup sliced mushrooms to the vegetables during cooking. Stir 1/2 pound pork sausage, cooked and crumbled, into the stuffing mixture before baking.

Make Ahead: Prepare as directed but do not bake. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. To bake, heat the oven to 350°F. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until hot.
