World’S Best Stuffing

Directions

1. 1
   Dice bread into 1/2 to 1-inch cubes. Spread bread on a baking sheet and bake at 200°F for 2 hours, or until dry.
2. 2
   Melt butter on medium heat in a large frying pan. Add onion and celery, if using. Cook 3-5 minutes until vegetables are soft.
3. 3
   Meanwhile, add dry bread cubes to a huge bowl. Sprinkle with seasoning and toss to combine.
4. 4
   Pour half of the butter on the bread and toss to combine. Pour on the other half and toss again. Remind yourself that you only make this once a year so you don't have to feel guilty.
5. 5
   Add chicken broth 1 or 2 cups at a time. You don't want any hard pieces of bread. Keep pouring and stirring until it is glorious and soft.
6. 6
   Spread stuffing in a 9x13 baking dish. If making the day before wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the fridge. Add 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time.
7. 7
   Cover tightly with foil and bake approximately 30 minutes until sizzling. Remove foil and bake 30 minutes longer until top forms a crunchy crust.
