Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish.
-
In a large skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the celery, onions, and carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, garlic, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
-
Pour the sautéed vegetables over the bread mixture and toss to combine.
-
Slowly pour the chicken broth over the bread mixture, stirring gently to moisten the bread without making it soggy. Add more broth if needed.
-
Drizzle the melted butter over the dressing and mix until everything is well combined.
-
Transfer the dressing to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
