Though we always save stuffing for the holidays, every time I make it, I wonder why! It's so delicious and a fabulous side to just about any meal!
It's super easy to make and always deeply satisfying. Especially this Classic Stuffing. It will bring you right back to your Mom's holiday dinner table.
With this easy stovetop version of Classic Stuffing, it doesn't take long to come together and requires very few ingredients! With a simple saute of some butter, olive oil, celery, onions and a few herbs, you'll create all the flavor you need!
Then a quick mix in of the broth and breadcrumbs! You can either eat just like that (more like the stuffing that comes out of the bird) or you can dump it all into a baking dish and bake up to get a nice crispy top and a moist inside—that's my favorite way!
But hear me out on this: don't wait until the fancy holiday meals to make this Classic Stuffing! Whenever you're grilling up some meat, cooking a pork tenderloin or making something in the crockpot, remember stuffing. I'm vowing to do the same from here on out!
