Description

Simple and delicious holiday filling (that’s Pennsylvania Dutch for ‘stuffing’ or ‘dressing’). No sausage, apples, chestnuts, or anything fancy. My favorite Thanksgiving side dish.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces, weight Potato Bread Cubes (1 Bag)
  • 4 stalks Celery
  • 1 whole Medium Onion
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Preparation

Spread the bread cubes out on a sheet pan and toast in the oven at 350 degrees until cubes are browned and crusty.

Dice celery and onions. Chop parsley fine. (I toss them all in a food processor and made quick work of them.) Saute the vegetables with 4 tablespoons of butter until slightly browned. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter with the vegetables and toss in a large bowl with the bread cubes. Add the chicken stock until the bread is moistened but not super wet. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well, pour into a baking dish, and bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until browned and slightly crusty on top. Serve with or without gravy.

I was looking through the Thanksgiving recipes and stumbled upon this. I had to comment. My family is also PA Dutch and we refer to this as filling also. People always look at me funny when I say it.

I’ve tried all the fancy stuffings/dressings out there and nothing compares to my Grandmothers filling either. They can keep their apples, cranberries, chestnuts, oysters, sausage, ect we like Grandma’s plain ol’ filling.

We do ours a bit different, we use eggs, milk instead of stock, and Grandma puts the giblets in hers. I always picked around the giblets. :}
