Ingredients
Before diving into the preparation, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 box of Pepperidge Farm Herb & Butter stuffing mix
– 1/2 cup of melted butter or vegetable oil
– 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
– 1/2 cup of chopped onions
– 1/2 cup of chopped celery
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
– Optional: 1/2 cup of chopped herbs (such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when you start preparing the stuffing.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter or vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and celery, and sauté until they are softened and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Pepperidge Farm Herb & Butter stuffing mix, salt, and black pepper. Add the sautéed onions and celery to the bowl, and toss to coat the stuffing mix evenly.
4. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the bowl, and mix until all the ingredients are well combined. If you’re using chopped herbs, add them now and mix them in.
5. Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared dish, and press it down gently to form an even layer.
6. Bake the stuffing in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
7. Once done, remove the stuffing from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can serve it alongside your turkey, gravy, and other Thanksgiving favorites.
Expert Tips
– For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding diced mushrooms, bell peppers, or even a splash of white wine to the sautéed vegetables.
– If you prefer a more savory stuffing, feel free to add additional herbs or spices to the mix.
– To prevent the stuffing from getting too dry, you can add a bit more broth if needed while baking.
By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to prepare a delicious Pepperidge Farm stuffing that will be the talk of the table. Happy cooking and enjoy your Thanksgiving feast!
