Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
• 2 stalks, finely chopped celery
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons dried sage
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 3 cups dry stuffing mix (herbed breadcrumbs)
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and celery to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried sage, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the skillet. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Once the broth is simmering, gradually stir in the dry stuffing mix. Mix well to ensure the breadcrumbs absorb the liquid evenly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the stuffing cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring once or twice to avoid sticking to the pan.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and fluff the stuffing with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the stuffing to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm as a side dish.
