Notes
- Cook right: Make sure you keep the heat medium-low while making this stuffing over the stovetop. This will ensure everything is cooked well and doesn’t end up burning.
- Mix just enough: Resist the urge to mix everything too much especially after you’ve added in the croutons and the broth. Doing this will turn the stuffing mushy.
- Get creative: Try different seasonings, add in more vegetables, add some meat, and so much more! It's so easy to use this recipe as a starting point and make it your own. This makes it adaptable for so many different types of meals.
- Servings: Each serving is about a 1/2 cup.
