Homemade Stove Top Stuffing
Homemade Stove Top Stuffing
The name is familiar to any American. If you are paying for the boxed kind in Thailand, you are paying too much, this is so easy to make. This is a good side dish with not only turkey, but chicken, meatloaf, etc. I made this on 13 Oct 2017 and this is now going to be a regular item on our table.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Oven
Ingredients
- 12 slices sandwich bread, slice into ¾ inch cubes
- 4 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
- 4 teaspoons dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt, or ¼ teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter, (1/4 block or 1/2 stick)
- 1⅓ cups chicken stock, or broth, fresh or from powder
- 1-3 stalks celery, diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, add the bread cubes spread them out in a layer. If you have a small baking sheet like me, work in batches.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, and gently toss them part way through and bake for another 5 minutes. You are looking for even toasting on most of the cubes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Toss the bread cubes with the sage, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. (If making this to use another recipe calling for a box of stuffing, use at this point.)
- Melt butter in a large non stick pan and add the celery and cook for a few minutes until soft. Then pour in the chicken stock and heat until simmering, add the bread cubes and stir, the bread will soak up the stock in just seconds, add additional stock as needed to your liking. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Minimal cost.
Shortcut: Quick Chicken Broth.
Variant: 1. Use beef stock in place of chicken stock.

I made this on 13 Oct 2017 and wow is this good! Exactly as I remember this, well received by the family as well. So easy to make I cannot imagine anyone buying the boxed stuff. I made this exactly as written, next I will be experimenting with different broths. On my go-to list.
Update, I made this again on 10 Nov 2017, used beef stock in place of chicken stock, excellent as well. Next test will be with mushroom stock.
