Nannys Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix the stuffing mix with the parsley and set aside.
• In a large pan on medium heat, add the butter, celery, onions, thyme, sage and garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and a nice grind of pepper. Cook until the onions and celery are tender but the garlic is not browned. Remove to the bowl of bread cubes. Pour the stock over the bread and veggie mixture and stir to combine (this is a wet dressing, so it should be very moist). If using one of the add-in combinations, mix in the ingredients carefully.
• Pour the mixture into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Press down to make it compact, and then cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes, then raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F and bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top, about 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Sauté celery and onion in butter until soft, set aside. Brown meat and drain. (you can do these two steps the day before and refrigerate) Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add more broth as needed if the mixture appears too dry; it should be moist. Place in buttered casserole dish and bake at 350°F for about 30-45 minutes. If it has been refrigerated bring out of frig a half hour before putting in the oven.
