Until this recipe, I never did really care for dressing. Every recipe I tried was either too wet, too dry, too blah, or had too many seasonings. Who would have thought that my favorite dressing would ultimately start with a box mix?

| Hot water not shown. |
2 tbsp. butter
2 medium onions, finely chopped (about 1 heaping cup)
2 or 3 ribs celery, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
2 cups low-sodium chicken, vegetable, or turkey broth (about one 14.5 oz. can)
Hot water
2 (6 oz.) packages stove-top style seasoned stuffing mix
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Over medium heat, melt butter in a large pot. (I use an 8 qt. stock pot.) Saute onions and celery until soft. Turn off heat. Stir in the poultry seasoning and the dry stuffing mixes. Heat broth and set aside. According to the directions on the stuffing mix, add enough hot water to the broth to make up the required liquid needed. (Two boxes of Stove Top brand require 3 cups of water, so I add 1 cup of hot water to the 2 cups of broth.) Pour the broth/water over the stuffing mixture and mix well. Spoon into a 7x11 baker sprayed with cooking spray. Cover and bake for 25 minutes at 325 degrees. If a crusty top is desired, uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
You can double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 baker sprayed with cooking spray for 40 minutes. If a crusty top is desired, uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
