Homemade stuffing

cubed bread
saute onions with S&P

8-10 slices wheat bread
1/2 onion
3 T butter
s&p
1 can cream of mushroom
chicken stock
sage

Not really a recipe just a method. Cube your bread, set aside. Saute onion in butter, add S&P. Mix all in a bowl, the bread, soup, onion, sage, and chicken stock to moisten. This will be mushy. Put in a shallow dish, I stir mine several times so that it all gets toasty, sometimes the bottom is slightly mushy. So much better than from a box.

{I asked how my Grandma does her's and this is her run down, different than mine. She browns breakfast sausage and drains the fat. She adds onion and celery, then to moisten the bread cubes which she has browned in the oven, she adds drippings from the turkey, her's is very delicious, I will try that way next year}
