Use this basic Bread Stuffing Recipe this Thanksgiving to add flair to your meal. By adding a few simple ingredients you can customize the flavor to fit your family's tastes. I have given 5 variations on this Simple Bread Stuffing recipe, but the possibilities are endless!

Simple Bread Stuffing

1 ½ cups finely chopped celery

¾ cup finely chopped onion

¾ cup butter

9 cups soft bread crumbs

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon sage

½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves

¼ teaspoon pepper

Cook the celery and onion and butter in a large pot over medium heat until the celery is tender. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Simple and tasty!

Apple- Raisin Stuffing

Use the Simple Bread Stuffing recipe, increasing the salt to 1 ½ teaspoons. Add 3 cups finely chopped apples and ¾ cup raisins with the remaining ingredients.

Casserole Stuffing

Place the stuffing in an ungreased 2-quart casserole dish. Cover and bake at 375 degree oven until hot and bubbly (about 30 minutes).

Corn Bread Stuffing

Substitute corn bread cubes for the soft bread cubes. This is one of my family's favorite variations!

Giblet Stuffing

Simmer the heart, gizzard and neck from the chicken or turkey in seasoned (lightly salted, ¼ teaspoon sage) water until tender; usually 1 to 2 hours. Add the liver during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Drain the giblets; chop and add with the remaining ingredients.

Mushroom Stuffing

Cook and stir 2 cups of sliced mushrooms with the celery and onions.
