GRANDMA NUDO’S STUFFING

My husband Randy’s grandmother moved in with them when he was a baby. She was supposed to stay for two weeks following a separation from his grandfather. She stayed 20 years. Thanksgiving was a crazy time in the Lockhart household. These things happen when you have seven children. The stuffing for the bird was a job that always belonged to Grandma. It’s an old-school recipe that is sure to please old-school stuffing lovers.

INGREDIENTS

2 loaves of white bread – cubed

2 to 3 diced onions

1 large celery, diced

3 sticks of butter (yes, three)

Poultry seasoning to taste

Chicken broth (optional, but usually needed)

DIRECTIONS

Heat butter in large skillet. Add onion and celery. Cook until soft. Add bread and poultry seasoning to taste. Mix until cooked through. Add chicken broth if too dry. Requires several taste tests (at least in our house it does).

Can be cooked in the bird cavity or right out of the pan.
