Description

Create a comforting Copycat Boxed Stuffing Mix from scratch with simple ingredients for a versatile side dish. This recipe captures the essence of store-bought boxed stuffing but with homemade quality.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Cubed Day Stale Bread
  • 2 tablespoons Dried Parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Minced Dried Onion
  • 2 tablespoons Dried Celery Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Sage
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1.25 cups Water or Broth
  • 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for toasting the bread.
  2. Spread the cubed day-old stale bread evenly across a baking sheet and toast for about 10 minutes until golden and dry.
  3. Combine all dried seasonings in a large ziplock bag, seal, and shake well.
  4. Once the bread is toasted and cooled slightly, add the bread cubes to the seasoning bag, seal, and shake gently to combine.
  5. Divide the seasoned bread into portions and store in an airtight container.
  6. When ready, boil 1 1/4 cups of water or broth, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, then add one portion of your stuffing mix and let sit for 5 minutes.
  7. Fluff the stuffing with a fork and season further with salt if necessary before serving.

Notes

  • This stuffing mix can serve as a base for stuffed peppers or casseroles—be creative in its use!
  • For a vegetarian stuffing, use vegetable broth. For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with olive oil.
  • Ensure bread is fully dried out to prevent sogginess when storing.
