Creating your own Copycat Boxed Stuffing Mix From Scratch is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Bread: If using fresh bread, cut it into cubes and lay them out on a baking sheet. Toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes until slightly crisped.

2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and celery. Sauté until the onions are translucent and soft, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the dried thyme, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure even distribution.

4. Combine Ingredients: Add the toasted bread cubes to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently toss to combine.

5. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, starting with 1 ½ cups. Mix well, adding more broth if needed, until everything is moistened.

6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.

7. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to crisp slightly.

8. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

These steps will help you create a stuffing mix that is guaranteed to impress!
