Recipe serves 8
Ingredients
- 1 pound French bread
- 8 slices bacon diced
- 1 medium sweet onion chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 10 ounces cream of chicken soup
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup fresh minced parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Cut bread into small cubes and place on a baking sheet in the oven for 10 minutes to dry out a bit.
- While the bread is in the oven, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the bacon is beginning to crisp around the edges, add the onion and celery and continue cooking until bacon is cooked and vegetables have softened.
- Place the bread cubes in a large bowl and increase the oven to 350 degrees.
- Pour the bacon and vegetables over the bread – do not drain the grease.
- Add the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and remaining ingredients to the bowl.
- Stir well to combine. Add additional chicken broth if needed to reach the level of moistness you prefer in stuffing.
- Spread stuffing into a buttered 2-3 quart baking dish and top with foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and continue baking for 30 more minutes.
If you don’t like stuffing to be overly wet, use about 3/4-1 cup of chicken broth. Add more if you like an extra moist stuffing. You may substitute cream of chicken for cream of mushroom soup, if preferred.
