Great Great Grandma's Famous Stuffing

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Breakfast, Vegetables

 Ingredients List

  • 4 medium onions, chopped
  • 4 cups of celery, chopped
  • 3 sticks of unsalted butter
  • 32 slices of hearty white sandwich bread*
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth is fine too)
  • 2/3 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons salt**
  • 2 tsp paprika

 Directions

1. Either one at a time, or in two separate saucepans, brown the onions and celery separately in about 1 tablespoon of the butter each. (Over the years we've determined it's much easier not to brown them together- it takes way longer and they don't brown at the same rate.)
When brown, transfer the onion and celery into a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool slightly.

2. Trim the crusts of the bread (I've made it before not trimming the crusts and while it's still good, I like the crust-free texture better.) and cut it into cubes. Transfer cubes into the same bowl as the onions/celery.

3. Melt the remaining butter and pour it into the bowl along with the broth, parsley and paprika. Mix together with your hands thoroughly.
Add the salt- one tablespoon first, and then taste the mixture to see how much more you need. (If you are using extremely salty broth you may need a little less. I usually use the whole amount.)

4. Spread stuffing into a 9x13 or other similar sized baking dish. If the pan is too packed in the center it will be difficult to heat, so I like to made the middle of the dish a little bit scooped out so it bakes for less time.

5. At this point the stuffing can be covered air-tight and stored in the fridge overnight until you're ready to bake it and serve. When that time comes- bake at 375 for 30-45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pan. It is done when the top is crisp and the inside is hot.
