Mom's "Cheater Stuffing", Meade into a casserole.
Original recipe:
7 C water or broth
1 LG or 2 SM/MED onions, chopped
3-4 ribs celery, chopped
2 boxes Stove Top-type Stuffing
1 bag flavored croutons
I added:
10 oz bag frozen corn
6-8 oz Craisins
(2) 10 oz cans chopped chicken breast
Dried chopped chives
The chicken adds necessary protein, and makes it a 1-pot meal.
1. Set broth to heating.
Meanwhile, sauté onion & celery in butter.
I added salt, pepper, sage. Add Chopped chicken, with juices from can. Add entire contents of sauté pan.
2. When boiling (or near enough), add Stuffing mix and croutons. Stir gently to mix well. Let rest at least 10 minutes.
For maximum flavor, I used pkgd chicken broth with some Minor's chicken soup base stirred in.
