Best Thanksgiving Dressing

This is the BEST Thanksgiving Dressing (or stuffing) recipe! This is my Mom’s tried and true recipe of traditional stuffing for Thanksgiving, we actually fight over it! Her recipe is also fool-proof and comes out absolutely perfect each time.

The difference between dressing and stuffing:

You will cook Thanksgiving dressing outside the bird in another dish and stuffing is when you put it inside the bird.

That being said, we still use these words interchangeably at our house, and this recipe is actually dressing to be made in a casserole dish, not stuffed in the turkey.

You will need:

8 cups dried bread cubes, cut into small bite size cubes

½ cup finely diced celery

1/3 cup finely diced onion

2 cups chicken broth (or 2 cups water and 2 chicken bouillon cubes)

3 Tablespoons butter

½ teaspoon poultry seasoning

Cooking spray

2 quart 7”x11” casserole dish

DIRECTIONS FOR BEST THANKSGIVING DRESSING

Finely dice the veggies.

In a medium saucepan, combine the broth, celery, onion, butter and poultry seasoning over medium high heat.

Simmer until veggies are tender and butter is melted.

Place the bread cubes into a large bowl and pour the broth over bread.

Mix well until coated.

Place the dressing into a two quart 7” x 11” casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray

Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes.

What I love about Grandma’s best Thanksgiving dressing is that it has all of the traditional, classic flavors with no added meats, seafood, nuts, berries, etc. Just plain and simple goodness that everyone loves and craves for the holidays! I hope it will become a family tradition for you too!
