Stuffing Recipe

This is the stuffing my mother always made for Thanksgiving when I was little. I have made it ever since. First I cube a bunch of bread. I save the crusts and small pieces of my homemade bread and use it for this.


Dice up a bunch of celery.


Dice several large onions.


Add them to the bread.



Add a box of Bell's Seasoning.


Add several sticks of melted butter and 4-5 raw eggs.


Add salt and pepper to taste and mix it all together very thoroughly. We always eat so much of this raw that we can't eat much later in the day. So simple yet so very good.


Place it in a heavy dutch oven and bake it at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.


I am sort of reeling right now. My husband took Teddy to OSU this morning to have her eyes checked again because I noticed that they were not looking great. She has to have another eye operation again next week!!! So, my poor puppy not only has to face surgery again, she has to wear the dreaded cone and stay in the garden room to avoid steps for at least 2 more weeks. I thought we were done with this and now have to go through it again. Hopefully the problems will finally be resolved.

I'm so sorry about Teddy having to do another surgery! I hoped the first one would be enough.

Since we rarely have a whole turkey to cook (turkey is very underestimated over here)I've never done any stuffing. Does it get taste from the bird or the other way around or both?

Have a great day!

That stuffing looks amazing! I've never heard of Bell's Seasoning before- I'll have to look for it. I live on the west coast and miss a lot of the east coast goodies. Good thing for the internet because I can mail order now :)

Hope Teddy is alright and recuperates quickly from her surgery. I love my animals like children. When I was little we had a chow chow. She was the best dog.

Poor Teddy. I feel so bad that she has to go through this again. And you too. I'll keep you both in my thoughts next week. I hope she recovers quickly. Such a sweetheart. Keep us posted. We will worry if we don't get updates. Never heard of Bell's Seasoning. Will have to check it out. I'm originally from the East Coast so I make oyster stuffing with my bird. But I'm willing to experiment. Yours sounds delish.
