1-Gathering Your Ingredients: Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and ready. This step sets you up for smooth cooking and helps avoid any rushes. Begin by dicing your onions and celery to ensure they’re uniform for even cooking.

2-Cooking the Vegetables: Next, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the diced onions, celery, poultry seasoning, and rosemary if you’re using it. Cook this mixture on medium-low for 10-12 minutes until the veggies turn tender, then let it cool slightly for safer handling.

3-Mixing the Stuffing: Now, in a large bowl, combine the dry bread cubes with the cooled onion mixture, parsley, and your fresh or dried herbs. Pour in 1 cup of broth and toss everything gently to start moistening the bread. Add the rest of the broth little by little until the cubes are moist but not overly wet, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4-Baking the Dish: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, and if you like extra richness, dot it with a bit more butter. Cover the dish and preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake it covered for 35 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 minutes to get that golden top.

5-Final Touches and Serving: Once it’s out of the oven, let it sit for a few minutes to firm up, then serve warm as a side. This step ensures the flavors meld together, making your Easy Stuffing Recipe a hit at any gathering. Remember, for fan-forced ovens, reduce the temperature by 25°F to avoid overcooking and check at around 45 minutes total.
