FAVORITE BREAD STUFFING

Category: Dressing and Stuffing

1/2 cup water
1 onion, chopped
3 cups sliced mushrooms (about 1/2 lb.)
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
4 cups cubed bread
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp sage
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup very hot water or vegetable stock

Heat 1/2 cup water in a large pot or skillet. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms & celery and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350. Stir in bread & spices, salt & pepper. Lower the heat & continue cooking for 3 minutes, then stir in the water or stock, a little at a time, until the dressing obtains the desired moistness. Spread in an oil-sprayed baking dish, cover & bake for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and bake 10 more minutes.
