Best Bread Stuffing Recipe
I have been making homemade Bread Stuffing as long as I can remember. At Thanksgiving and Christmas I would help my mom make the best Bread Stuffing recipe. She never used a bread stuffing recipe.
Back when I was a kid helping mom make her bread stuffing recipe she would make a huge batch of the her bread stuffing and stuff the cavity of a huge turkey with the bread stuffing.
Now they caution against stuffing the cavity of a turkey with bread stuffing.
Back in those days we also played Russian roulette when it came to cooking a turkey.
Mom also cooked her turkey over night for 12 hours at a very low temperature.
These days we know it’s not safe to stuff your bird with bread stuffing or cook it for 12 hours at a low temperature because your just inviting a bout of food poisoning.
I don’t know how I survived my childhood with all the running around loose in the neighborhood, climbing big tall trees and playing alone with my friends at the park I did.
Add our unsafe holiday meals and it’s amazing I’m still around to share this recipe with you.
Old Fashion Classic Holiday Recipes
Because Mom isn’t with us any longer over the years I have developed my own homemade bread stuffing from the memories of helping her make her bread stuffing recipe. The only problem was that Mom’s recipe could feed an army.
Most of my family members do not like bread stuffing. Or any stuffing for that matter. So when I get a craving for homemade bread stuffing. Or family and friends are invited to dinner who do eat stuffing I’ll make a small casserole dish of it.
One of the best memories of helping my mother make her bread stuffing recipe was how good the house smelled while she was sauteing the onions, celery and poultry seasoning in a stick of butter.

There are so many bread stuffing recipes out there that don’t even call for poultry seasoning in the ingredient list. Bread Stuffing just doesn’t taste anything like a real old fashioned bread stuffing recipe unless it has poultry seasoning in it.
