I did a lot of research on baking and preparation techniques and ingredients in stuffing and this is what I came up with. It is my best stuffing recipe to-date and everybody who tried it complimented it with praise. This recipe is also vegetarian-friendly.
Step: 1
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Spread bread cubes out onto 2 baking sheets.
Step: 2
Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave bread in the oven until hard and completely dry, up to 3 hours. If your bread is not dry, it will be soggy in the end. Remove bread from oven and pour into a large bowl.
Step: 3
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step: 4
Melt butter in a large pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, celery, onion, apple, and cranberries. Saute until all vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in cooked rice, parsley, garlic, poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, salt, marjoram, and pepper.
Step: 5
Pour vegetable and fruit mixture over the bread and stir until completely mixed in. Pour 1 cup vegetable broth over bread mixture, using only enough to moisten every piece of bread. Bread should not be dry at all but should also not be soggy. Transfer mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.
Step: 6
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 30 to 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until golden, about 15 minutes more.

One of most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. When you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to adjust with make a rice salad.
One make sure is also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can made a dish do double-duty .
