Herbed "Simple" dressing~STUFFING

Picture
"Simple is Best" Dressing 

ingredients
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter plus more for baking dish
1 pound good-quality day-old white bread, torn into 1" pieces (about 10 cups)
2 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
1 1/2 cups 1/4" slices celery
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups turkey stock/broth (chicken stock/broth if you don't have turkey stock/broth) 
2 large eggs

preparation
Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.

Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. DO AHEAD: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Uncover; let cool. Cover; chill.

Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).

SOUR CREAM & HORSEradish mashed potatoes

Picture
Mashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Horseradish 

Ingredients
3 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups milk
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper *more on top if preferred 
2-3 Tbs creamed horseradish 

Directions
Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add enough salt so the water tastes quite salty. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.

Meanwhile, warm the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done. Microwave/melt butter and set aside. 

When the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Mash with potato masher or run thru food mill. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk/butter mixture to make the potatoes very creamy. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and the sour cream and pepper and whisk to combine. Add creamed horseradish to taste. Sprinkle top with black pepper if preferred.
Taste for seasoning and serve hot.

Hi Diane! Your dressing recipe is very similar to mine-my dad used to mix it in a tin garbage can for VFW hog roasts! Mine doesn’t use eggs though; what is their purpose?
I also cook the liver and gizzard and heart and dice them finely and throw them in. And I have to annihilate the celery and tell my hubby it’s not there! 😂
Enjoy your big meal!
