Savory Bacon and Onion Stuffing
Looking for a new recipe for Thanksgiving stuffing? This one will be a winner with the bold flavors of bacon and onion mixed with the classic taste of sage, butter and parsley. Call it stuffing or call it dressing, but baking it in its own dish (rather than stuffed in the turkey) allows you to control the cooking time. Give this one a try this holiday.

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf La Baguette French Bread
- 1 pound Greers Ranch House Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Hiland Butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped Scissortail Farms Thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped Scissortail Farms Parsley
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 Hansens egg, beaten
- Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. Place bread on a large baking sheet, baking in a preheated 375-degree oven until lightly toasted and golden, about 10 minutes.
- Cut bacon into pieces. Cook in a large saute pan until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving the bacon grease.
- In a large bowl, gently toss 1 tablespoon bacon grease with bread cubes to coat.
- Melt butter in a large saute pan. Add onion and celery, cooking over medium heat until tender. Add sage, salt, pepper, thyme and parsley. Stir to coat vegetables with herbs. Add chicken broth, gently scraping the pan to remove any bits.
- Pour chicken broth mixture over bread. Add egg, making sure it’s completely combined.
- Bake, covered, 25 minutes. Remove cover and bake another 20 minutes or until the top is golden and stuffing is baked through. (You will need to watch the cooking time as it will change depending on how much liquid has been absorbed in the bread.)
