There's all sorts of different recipes for stuffing, so you can use what you like! If you're feeling abit more adventurous, I make one for Christmas which apart from the breadcrumbs has onions, celery and walnuts in it among other things and it's like a vegetarian nut loaf (you don't really taste the celery) and is so yummy that you can eat it on its own as a main course (I have, on many occasions).

Basically, for stuffing you need buttery onions and breadcrumbs and Other Ingredients. Experiment!

There are some good recipes on this thread so I've added it to the main thread on stuffing to keep the replies together.

My favourite stuffing recipe is Bacon, Mushroom & Onion. I saw a chef making it on telly years ago and it's so easy.

Basically you just fry chopped onions, chopped streaky bacon & chopped mushrooms in a frying pan tip it all into a casserole dish (including the oil/fat in the pan) add breadcrumbs and some parsley (fresh or dried) & mix well. Smooth the top, add some dots of butter and stick in the oven for 20-30 minutes.

There's no set quantities, you just make it to taste. I normally use 1 large onion, about 4-5 large mushrooms and half a pack of streaky bacon, then just add enough breadcrumbs to bind it together so it looks right.

I have lots of frozen sage that I grew this year so I'm going to make my own sage&onion stuffing this year.
I have a question. Should I par boil the onion first? Would it be a better taste?

You could 'sweat' it a little first to help bring out the flavour and soften it .

I'm with Olliebeak - I sweat it in a little butter for flavour before.

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread on making stuffing
