stuff some chicken breast with it
or i sometimes make it up into little balls and put it in my toad in the hole

Heya, I'm making toad in the hole tommorow, got loads of stuffing so how would I add it to it exactly...

The pie and the meatloaf looks really interesting although I have no idea how so if you could post it, I would be a happy (stuffed) bunny!

I sometimes use it in mashed potato with fried onions, all mixed together.
Either like this, or then cooked further in little towers and baked in the oven.

hi stephen i just make the mix up with water and roll into little balls put them in the dish with the cooked sausages then pour the batter mix over the top my kid loves this.
the meatloaf recipe is in post no 9

and for the pie i usually just mix the stuffing with a couple of skinned sausages and put a shortcrust pastry on the top and bottom , gas mark 6 for about 40 mins

Thanks everyone

All of these ideas wil certainly use up the stuffing mix (its a big packet!)

I really like the idea of the chicken goujons and meatloaf so will give them a go. If I have any left over I will try out some of your other ideas!

Thank you!

I have a large bag of breadcrumbs and wanted to try and make my own stuffing. I have had a hunt round, but couldn't find a recipe (feel free to tell me off if there is one!)

Is it basically onion, breadcrumbs, herbs and boiling water? Or is there more to it than that?

Do I need to cook the onion first? Can it be frozen once made? And (final question) do I need to brown/bake the breadcrumbs first or leave them as they are?

Thanks for any help

8oz fresh breadcrumbs
1 onion, chopped and softened in butter
4 tblsps fresh sage, chopped
1 beaten egg
Pepper and salt

Mix all together, form into balls; cook about 10 mins; you can freeze them and cook 20-30 minutes from frozen. You can also stir a teaspoon of chicken stock granules into the mixture if you'd like.

I assume you mean sage and onion stuffing for chicken or pork? if so here is my recipe
white breadcrumbs or a mix of wholemeal + white but mostly white. you need about half a standard mixing bowl full
large onion chopped fairly finely
about a tablespoon of dried sage (you may prefer less but we like this amount)
lard - salt and pepper
add the sage onion, salt and pepper to your breadcrumbs, mix it up, and start with walnut sized blobs of the lard work it into breadcrumbs with your hands - keep adding blobs of lard until mix will all work into one mass. you will understand what i mean when you do this! bit diff to explain in writing!
the stuffing is then ready to go into the chicken pork or whatever.
you can freeze breadcrumbs if the bread hasnt previously been frozen but i wouldnt freeze the mix. use breadcrumbs as is dont fry them!
one tip i would add is to rub the dried sage well between your hands before adding it to the mix - it helps release the flavour.
hope this is what you are looking for.

Thanks for you replies. I know the norm is sage and onion, but could I use mixed dried herbs instead of sage? (only because I already have them!)

I know there's allsorts of different varieties in the shops, so assume I can, but not sure. Think i'll give it a go tomorrow and see what happens.
