This family-favorite Mushroom Stuffing recipe has been passed down for generations! It's always at hit at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it's so easy to toss together, that you can make it year-round for a flavorful side dish anytime.
Toast the entire loaf of bread in a toaster. After all of the bread is toasted, cut each piece into 16 cubes. Set the toasted bread cubes aside.
Melt the butter in a large pot on the stove over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and celery and cook 5-6 minutes, until softened.
Add the mushrooms and cook them on medium-low heat, covered, until soft, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the toasted bread, salt, pepper, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme to the pot and stir to combine. Toss with the chicken broth until moist, but not mushy.
Transfer to a baking dish and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
Notes
Dried sage – this recipe calls for dried sage leaves. If you can only find rubbed sage or ground sage, you’ll want to cut the amount of sage in half and only use 1 teaspoon.
Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make this recipe vegetarian.
