Delicious And Easy Stuffing Food

BASIC STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups each diced onions and celery, 2 chopped apples and 1 tablespoon each minced sage and thyme; season with salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes. Add 3 cups chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Whisk 2 eggs with 1/4 cup chopped parsley in a large bowl; add 16 cups cubed stale country white bread, then pour in the vegetable-broth mixture and toss. Transfer to a buttered 3-quart baking dish and dot with more butter. Cover and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, 20 more minutes.

DELICIOUS (AND EASY) STUFFING

Steps:

• brown the sausage in a large pot. If desired, add chopped celery with the browning meat.
• once the sausage is browned, add the onion soup mix and stir well.
• Add the can of gravy and another can (or so) of water.
• Add the stuffing mix and stir well.
• Bake, only if desired, in a pan covered loosely with aluminum foil.

EASY & DELICIOUS CRAB STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Wash and take the stems out of the mushrooms,set aside.
• Combine green onions,garlic,margarine,cream cheese, and seasoning in a bowl and microwave on high for 1 min, stir, microwave again for 1 minute.
• Stir and add crab, mushrooms and parmesan.
• At this point, the mixture should be fairly thick,(and not too buttery, you'll be able to tell if you see it on the edges of the bowl -- if you see 'too much' add some bread crumbs for a better outcome) You want a thick porridge like consistency at this point.
• You could now store this mixture or if you had stuffed the mushrooms -- they can be refrigerated and heated and served the next day.
• Stuff mushroom caps and top with additional sprinkle of bread crumbs and/or cheese, if desired.
• Heat at 375 for 10-20 mins, or until bubbling hot.
• Let rest for about 5-10 mins coz the fillings are gonna be HOT!
• The reason this recipe is so easy is because steps can be done ahead of time and it's still turns out delicious every single time we do this. Oh -- and it's SOOOO versatile -- got one ingredient but not other? -- change it -- it's still great :).

"SIMPLE IS BEST" DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. (Note: Dressing can be made one day ahead up to this point. Uncover the dressing, let cool, then cover again and chill. The next day, proceed with the final bake as described below.)
• Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).
