Homestyle OTC Cracker Stuffing

 2-1/2 Bags OTC Crackers

1 Stick Butter (Melted)

1 Onion Chopped 

3 Ribs of Chopped Celery 

1 – 32 Oz Can Chicken Broth 

1 Large Egg 

Seasoning: Poultry Seasoning, Salt, Pepper,  Seasoning – To Taste

Heat pan over Medium heat

Chop Onions and Celery

Add 1 tbsp of oil or butter to pan

Add vegetables to pan and cook until tender

Transfer to a large mixing bowl

Crumble the OTC Oyster and Soup Crackers into coarse crumbs. You can use a food processor or crush by hand, but avoid making a fine powder. 

 Combine the ingredients in a large bowl, mix the cracker crumbs with the cooked vegetables, seasoning, and herbs. 

 Add a beaten egg and enough broth to add moisture to the mixture but not make it soggy. (allow time for the crackers to absorb egg and broth, around 5-10 minutes. Add more broth as needed.) 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the stuffing for about 40 minutes or until heated through and crispy on top. 

Let OTC stuffing cool 3-5 minutes and transfer to a serving dish

Cover with foil or lid untill  you are ready to serve

To keep stuffing moist during the baking process cover for the first 30 minutes then remove the covering for the final 10 to create a crust. 

For a traditional stuffing, prepare giblets and mix them in before baking

For a new twist add cooked sage sausage with fresh or dried sage to the mixture before baking.

Save oven space and finish in a slow cooker instead of baking.  Set the slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally and adding chicken broth as needed.
