My Husbands Wisconsin Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipes

THANKSGIVING BACON STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until cooked through but still slightly soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, retaining bacon drippings in the skillet.
• Melt butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir bacon and poultry seasoning into onion mixture.
• Mix onion-bacon mixture and bread pieces together in a large bowl; fold in eggs. Spoon bread mixture into muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are crispy, about 25 minutes.

MY HUSBAND'S WISCONSIN THANKSGIVING STUFFING

Steps:

• Boil giblets in water. Put giblets plus water and other ingredients into blender. Stuff turkey and bake. Enjoy.
• Note: Cooking times vary so do not follow what is listed but rather how big the turkey you are using is. If you did not want to stuff into turkey you could bake in a pan separate. I do not have temperature or times for that though because we use the turkey method.

CLASSIC SIMPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place bread cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Remove from the oven and let cool. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent and beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper and remove from the heat.
• Whisk together stock, eggs, parsley, and rosemary in a large bowl. Add cooled bread cubes and onion mixture; stir until very well combined. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown and lightly toasted on top, 20 to 25 more minutes.
• Garnish with remaining parsley.
