Bacon Stuffing

November 12, 2019 by Amber 1 Comment

Bacon Stuffing is the perfect holiday side dish made with sourdough bread, loads of crispy bacon, celery, onion, garlic, egg, chicken broth and fresh herbs. 

We are two weeks away from Thanksgiving and it is time to finalize plans and create a holiday menu or find out what you can contribute if someone else is hosting. Stuffing is one of those holiday dinner necessities. You just cannot have Thanksgiving dinner without it! This Bacon Stuffing recipe is that classic stuffing recipe that everyone will have on their plate but with just one tiny, delicious twist- bacon. Bacon adds so much flavor and also a bit of crunch that will pair perfectly with the rest of that holiday menu no matter what is on it.

Bacon Stuffing

Bacon Stuffing has a sourdough bread base made with stale bread, fresh celery and onion. Flavor is cranked up with lots of crispy bacon and fresh herbs, along with butter and bacon grease. You get a soft inside with a crispier baked top that is just waiting for a drizzle of homemade gravy. This side dish really is a must this holiday. 

Tips & Tricks

Bread

I use a stale loaf of sourdough bread for this particular recipe. However, you can swap the sourdough out for whatever bread you prefer. If your bread is not yet stale, you can also oven dry it. To oven dry stuffing bread, start by cubing the loaf. Then place the bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for 45 minutes on 275 degrees.

    I’ve heard of stuffing with bacon, but not bacon stuffing! This should be a great side dish for sure.
