Ingredients:
1 loaf of the Amber Ale Cheesy Bread (seperate recipe)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 large onion, diced
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 large eggs, beaten
Directions:
Prep the Cheesy Amber Ale Bread: Take your leftover Amber Ale Cheesy Bread and cut it into bite-sized cubes. If you're tempted to snack on a few, we don't blame you – it's irresistible.
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced onions, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the veggies are soft and fragrant.
Season the Stage: Sprinkle in the dried sage, thyme, and rosemary. Let the herbs join the party by infusing their flavors into the mix. Season with salt and pepper to your taste preference.
Mix It Up: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed veggies with your delightful bread cubes. Toss them together like they're at a dance party – everyone gets a chance to mingle.
Wet and Wild: Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the mixture. This isn't a dry affair; we want that bread to soak up all the goodness. Give it a gentle stir, making sure each cube gets a good beer and broth bath.
Egg-citement: Beat those eggs like they owe you money. Once thoroughly beaten, fold them into the stuffing mix. This step ensures your stuffing stays together – no one likes a crumbly relationship.
Into the Oven: Transfer your concoction into a buttered baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes or until the top is golden and crispy, and the inside is a delightful blend of beer-infused, cheesy heaven.
Serve and Savor: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist). Spoon it onto plates, and get ready for a side dish that steals the spotlight.
And there you have it – a culinary masterpiece that turns stuffing into a star! We hope your kitchen was filled with the aroma of beer, cheese, and holiday magic. As you serve up this Amber Ale Cheesy Bread Stuffing to your delighted guests (or yourself), take a moment to savor the triumph of turning leftovers into a dish that deserves a standing ovation. Cheers to culinary brilliance, and until next time, may your meals be as exciting as this stuffing adventure!
