Nothing beats stuffing for my favorite Thanksgiving side dish. It's so easy to make from scratch that you won't miss the box mix at all.

¼cupsage leaveschopped

2-2-½cupsvegetable or chicken broth
1eggbeaten
Instructions
If using fresh bread cut bread up into small cubes and let dry overnight or place on a cookie sheet in oven on lowest setting until completely dried out and hard. (I recommend doing this to eliminate the extra ingredients in store-bought)
Preheat oven to 375
In a large skillet over medium heat melt the butter.
Add the chopped onion and celery, and season it with salt and pepper.
Cook until onion and celery are translucent.
Turn the heat off and stir in fresh herbs and bread crumbs.
Stir well.
Add stock starting with a cup and adding a half cup more at a time until you get the wetness you want (some people like a more dry stuffing while others wetter).
Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Pour in the well-beaten egg eveny over stuffing and mix in.
Pour stuffing into a casserole dish and bake for about a half hour or until golden brown on top.
