Make-Your-Own Stove Top Stuffing

Ingredients

*6 cups cubed bread
*1 tbsp parsley flakes
*3 tbsp chicken-bouillon powder
*¼ cup dried minced onion
*½ cup dried minced celery (or fresh celery may be sauteed and added just before cooking)
*1 tsp thyme
*1 tsp pepper
*½ tsp sage
*1/3 tsp salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the cubes on a cookie sheet and bake for eight to ten minutes, turning to brown evenly. Cool. In a plastic bag or bowl, toss the cubes with the rest of the ingredients until well coated. Store in a tightly closed container in the pantry for up to four months, or in the freezer for up to a year. To use: Combine two cups stuffing mix with ½ cup water and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir to combine thoroughly. Warm on the stove top or in a microwave. Stir again just before serving.
