How To Doctor Up Stove Top Stuffing Food

THANKSGIVING STUFFING (CHEAT! USING STOVE TOP)

Steps:

• Saute onions and celery in butter.
• Sprinkle with poultry seasoning.
• Set aside to cool slightly.
• Toss this mixture into your favorite dry stuffing mix.
• Heat broth and set aside.
• Read directions on your favorite stuffing mix box.
• Add enough hot water to the broth to make up the required liquid needed.
• (Omit butter the recipe calls for as it was already used to saute vegetables.)
• Pour over stuffing/vegetables mixture and mix well.
• Stuff your chicken or turkey. For a side dish place stuffing in a baking dish; cover and bake for 15 to 25 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

DELICIOUS DOCTORED DRESSING

Steps:

• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• In a saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon each of the butter and oil. When the butter is melted, add the celery, carrots, onion and fennel (mirepoix) and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and stir through. Scoop out 2 cups of the caramelized mirepoix and reserve for the gravy. Put the remaining caramelized mirepoix in a large bowl (you should have about 4 cups).
• Heat a second saute pan over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon each butter and oil and heat until the butter is melted. Add the celery root, parsnips and turnips and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the mirepoix and add the stuffing mix. Add the chicken broth, parsley, salt and pepper and toss together. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• If baking right away, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover with foil and bake until the stuffing is heated through, about 1 hour.
• If making ahead of time, cover the unbaked stuffing with foil and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring the stuffing to room temperature, then drizzle with 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Bake, covered with foil, until heated through, about 1 hour.

UPGRADED STOVETOP STUFFING

Steps:

• Add the butter to the sauce pan, than add the onions.
• Saute until slightly translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Than add the celery, about 5 minutes.
• Add all the stock. DO NOT ADD ANY WATER! We are replacing the water with stock or broth.
• Bring the liquid to a boil on a medium heat for about 2 minutes.
• Add the stuffing and the dried cranberries together.
• Turn off the stove, cover and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

TURN STOVE TOP STUFFING MIX INTO PAN DRESSING TO DIE FOR

Steps:

• Open stuffing mix boxes and empty into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Add onion and celery. In a separate bowl beat the eggs and add both soups. Add to stuffing mix and stir completely. Begin adding chicken broth slowly. Wait a few minutes in between pours for the mix to soak it up. When you are done you want very wet to just about soupy in texture. Bake at 350 for about an hour or until set.

THANKSGIVING STUFFING/DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter, add chopped onion and celery and saute until vegetables are tender.
• 2. Prepare both boxes of Chicken flavored Stovetop Stuffing as directed, but put both in one large bowl. Add cooked onion and celery, mix.
• 3. Stuff your "bird" (turkey or chicken) with your doctored up Stove Top and cook turkey for necessary amount of time. When turkey is done, get stuffing out of the bird, put in pretty bowl. Don't say anything, hide the Stove Top boxes. Wait for the compliments. I know, it sounds too good to be true, but it's true! To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Stove Top Stuffing when it's cooked on the stovetop, but somehow putting it inside of a turkey or chicken makes it AMAZING!! It's up to you if you want to confess that it's not homemade, but unlike homemade EVERYONE will like it :-) I've found with homemade stuffing, people only like their mom's. Nothing else compares to mom's. This EVERYONE will like. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
