Classic bread stuffing is as synonymous with Thanksgiving as turkey.  Cubes of dried bread mixed with celery, onions and sage are baked in the oven until golden brown.

A traditional stuffing recipe is pretty easy. It is holiday comfort food. The variations on stuffing are endless, but a classic bread stuffing with onions, celery and sage is always a favorite.

Good stuffing starts with dry bread. If you start with fresh, soft bread, you’ll have a mushy mess on your hands.  So, the first step in making stuffing from scratch is to dry out the bread.

In a large bowl, toss toasted bread with onion mixture until well combined. Lightly grease a 3 or 4 quart baking dish. Add stuffing mixture to dish and spread into an even layer.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35 - 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking an additional 15 minutes to brown the top.

This simple bread stuffing is my grandmother's recipe, with a few tweaks. It is the perfect side for your holiday table, and it's everyone's favorite dish.
