Mrs. Cratchit probably used a recipe similar to this to serve husband Bob, Tiny Tim and the rest of the family, using it to stuff the Christmas goose.
Why Try? It’s a classic recipe, very traditional. And for good reason.
Foodie Byte: You can use your own stale bread, or pick up some stuffing bread they have for sale in bakeries and supermarkets.
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt butter in frying pan.
- Add onion and celery, and cook until softened but not browned.
- Combine butter mixture with breadcrumbs and seasonings.
