1 pkg Stove Top Stuffing mix (these are the 8 oz packets sold in a bulk box of Stove top)
1 cup chicken broth – no salt if possible - homemade is best
1 cup water (or 2 cups of broth and no water)
½ onion, chopped very fine
1 stalk celery, chopped fine
2 tbslp red pepper, chopped fine
2 cloves garlic, pressed
5 tblsp unsalted butter or margarine
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the onions, red peppers and celery in the butter until soft – about 3 – 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds.
While the above is sautéing, heat water and broth until boiling.
When the sautéed vegetables are finished, put the stove top mix in a large bowl. Pour the sautéed vegetables over the dry mix and stir gently. Pour the hot water/broth over the dry mix and stir, making sure you get all the mix moist, cover and let sit 5 minutes.
Serve.
You can also put in a baking dish and bake on 350º for 30 minutes without a cover if you like it slightly crunchy.
